Moscow's city court ruled in favor of a 100 year long long ban on gay pride parades in Russia's capital Friday, the BBC reports.

The ban was installed after Russia's best-known gay rights campaigner, Nikolay Alexeyev, attempted to challenge a city council ruling that banned the parades.

Alexeyev will now try and bring the case, and Moscow's decision, to the European Court of Human Rights, reports the BBC.
