Today the Estonian internet news portal www.delfi.ee reports that next Monday there will be a meeting of religious leaders of this country to form a ‘united front’ against sexual minorities.

The initiative belongs to a group of pastors, leading independent parishes in Tallinn and North-East Estonia, who also sent an appeal to the Estonian parliament, government and the general public earlier this month during the third week of homo-culture, demanding an end to ‘homo-dictatorship’.

Oleg Pronin, one of the members of the initiative group and pastor of a “Word of God” parish, said to the Estonian newspaper Eesti Express :”Nazis were throwing stones, but we want to use legal methods”.
