Here is a quote from wikipedia (sorry for the source, I'm too lazy to look for the English definition in other places):

Democracy is a political form of government where governing power is derived from the people, either by direct referendum (direct democracy) or by means of elected representatives of the people (representative democracy).[1] The term comes from the Greek: δημοκρατία – (dēmokratía) "rule of the people",[2] which was coined from δῆμος (dêmos) "people" and κράτος (Kratos) "power"

So when 90% of Moscow citizens
DO NOT WANT to see gay parades and many of them even ready to start a mass beating of the parade members, the Moscow government simple submit to the peoples will and bans the parade (power is derived from the people). You Americans have very perverted view of democracy. I don't know why exactly this has happened. Perhaps something wrong with your food or water
