Video from today by Dmitriy Zikov, showing Russian police in Red Square arresting a group of LGBT rights activists singing the national anthem at the moment of the opening of the Sochi Olympics. At the end you can hear a woman shout “Russia will be free!”
The Advocate notes that anti-gay demonstrations in Sochi were not so rudely interrupted. In fact, they were allowed, in spite of a law against all political demonstrations. Things that make you go hmmm.
ETA: Here is a British documentary on the anti-gay laws and their direct effect on Russians, LGBT and otherwise.
I wonder: What will Timor do if his own son turns out to be gay? Will he persecute the child he is currently trying to “protect”?
And no, Katya of “Occupy Pedophilia”, you are NOT a pretty girl.
