My reading of history is that certain cultures *tolerate* gays, but none celebrate them. Even within the gay relationship it was more scandalous to be the bottom. It reminds me of an old comedy routine:

I’m gonna have to agree.

Weapons Free: All targets destroyed unless positively identified as friendly.

Many in Russia’s dark and cold hinterlands seem to feel that the whole gay agenda—lock, stock, and cock ring—is a rude intrusion by Western imperialists.

And there it is. In case anyone thought Cathedral clerics cared about teh gayz. Of course if you push a human hard enough they’re going to push back if they’re at all able. The harder gays are preached for, the worse their situation will be.

In May, a 23-year-old in Volgograd was murdered during a drinking party after revealing to his friends that he was gay.

I said Russians were never very nice people, didn’t I? However, I expect there’s more to this story. Even from Russians, I don’t see this:

“Hey guys!”

“Hey buddy.”

“I’m gay.”

“Fuck you, die!”

In January, 10 gay activists were beaten by a much larger mob during a protest

I just realized I believe all activists can be assumed to be gut-churningly evil until proven otherwise.

Maybe all the Nazi outfits were a warning.
