(EU) - Former British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and several dozen other European parliamentarians protested Thursday comments by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church assailing Gay people. In an address to the Council of Europe's parliamentary assembly earlier this week, Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II branded homosexuality an "illness" and attacked what he called "homosexual propaganda" influencing young people. Parliamentarians from all major political groups in the assembly said a dialogue between cultures and religions must be based on mutual respect and tolerance.
