A Hate Group featuring Brian Brown are speaking at a Family Values Conference in Moscow


Looks like Brian Brown is causing international drama.

Check this out
A planned conference at the Kremlin organized by the Illinois-based World Congress of Families, which was supposedly cancelled after Russia’s incursion into Ukraine, is in fact going ahead this week with only nominal changes to its sponsorship line-up.

In fact, World Congress of Families officials Don Feder and Larry Jacobs were on hand at the event’s opening today to take questions from reporters…being careful to give their affiliations as their personal consulting operations rather than WCF.

Also planning to attend and scheduled to speak tomorrow, according to organizers: National Organization for Marriage President Brian Brown.

Last year, Brown travelled to Moscow with a group of French anti-gay activists to speak to members of the Russian Parliament in support of a spate of anti-gay laws. He then travelled back to Moscow to help organize what was then supposed to be the World Congress of Families summit. Brown is scheduled to be in France this weekend to lead a training for activists with the anti-gay group Manif Pour Tous. We'll keep an eye on news reports to see if Brown does in fact speak at the Kremlin conference tomorrow.
If this meeting actually happens, Brian could be in trouble. Here's why.
