Clashes in Moscow during a gay rights rally. Police detained dozens of gay rights activists Saturday, dragging and carrying them to waiting vans. The demonstrators held the rally outside the State Duma despite Moscow's ban on the event. Anti-gay protesters also took to the streets, many holding religious icons. As support for same-sex marriage increases in the West, homosexuals in Russia face rising violence and government restrictions on their freedoms.
