Moscow's city council had voted through the ban, but it had been challenged by Nikolay Alexeyev, a top campaigner for gay rights in Russia.
The European Court of Human Rights has previously ordered Russia to pay Alexeyev damages, after he challenged St. Petersburg's ruling that banned "homosexual propaganda".
Alexeyev now plans to take his challenge against Moscow, to the European Court.
The Council of Europe, Europe's biggest human right's watcher, is already planning to investigate Russia on it's treatment of homosexuals.
