Russians Don’t Like Gay People Very Much

THEY EVEN BEAT UP THE GUY FROM ‘RIGHT SAID FRED’

FITSNews - May 27, 2007 - Russian police have detained several gay rights activists after a fight broke out Sunday at a protest gathering in Moscow. The protesters were seeking to hold a gay rights rally against the expressed wishes of the city’s mayor, who has banned gay rallies as “satanic acts.” Even Right Said Fred (editor’s note - “I’m too sexy for Milan. Too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan”) got bloodied up in the brawl, although it was not immediately clear whether he was targeted for being gay or because he was “too sexy” for Moscow. From Reuters:

Russian nationalists shouting “death to homosexuals” punched and kicked demonstrators calling for the right to hold a Gay Pride parade in central Moscow on Sunday while riot police detained dozens of gay protesters.

Maybe it’s just us, but it seems like the gays should have won this fight. Seriously, look at the guy in the camouflage shirt about to throw a punch in the picture above. He’s like twelve years old. And there’s no way that moustache is real.

I think RSF came out on the good end of this one. The Russians specialize in killing journalists these days, so, yeah, the gays did win this fight. Other enemies of the state don’t end up so well.

I really think it’s time to start hating the Russians again. And if we get Fred Thompson in the White House, it will be teh awesome. Eg. “Russians don’t take a dump, son, without a plan.”

Oh, man. So, how do you feel about an Islamist linking to FITS? I mean, I felt a little bad about giving City Paper the alert about the Nazi in Laurens, but that seemed to be a different kettle of fish compared to a guy who prolly sends a tithe to Osama.

I think it is appauling in this day and age that people are being targetted for being gay. The people who are against it, calling it ‘Satanic’ and ‘wrong’ are small minded and tend to be insecure themselves. As for the comment by ‘Radical Muslim’ you should know better, your people are suffering prejudice all around the world because of how governments and societies are portraying you and the masses just believe whatever it is said and it is a shame for you, but this is exactly what is happening to gay people. People don’t decide to be gay, it is something that is realised and cannot be helped. People give arguments that they are tools of the devil, some say they are being punished for Sins, get real. The acts they perform behind closed doors are of no concern to you as it is not their concern what you practice. Being gay is a small part of their lives, it is a sexual preference but it does not define them. They are rallying because they are discriminated against, stopped from living freely and punished for who they are. I don’t listen to the mass media and their view on Muslims, I take it for myself to speak to Muslims and know quite a few who I quite happily converse with. A lot of people however, hate any and all Muslim’s because they are stereotyped as terrorists, lower species, vermin. And this is completely wrong. Don’t be so narrowminded, everyone is discriminated against, whether its because you have ginger hair, your obese or you pratice a certain religion. So take heed before making your prejudice comments.

It makes me sick to see such unjustified opression. Small minded apes with provincial principles who really, truly believe they’re the heroes. I was born gay, i cannot turn straight without a significant sacrifice of happiness and extreme effort of denial; the forced transition would undoubtedly make me bitter and resentful toward the world and THEN i’d become detrimental to the health of society, infinitly more than i would be if i just accept being gay. Its not even as if its a contageous disease (contrary to uneducated belief) and so any fears of homosexuality ‘corrupting’ the morals of society are seriously unfounded: the negative consequences of me having same sex relationships on other people are non existent. I respect everyones views about homosexuality, but when they are so cruelly unsympathetic, it makes me despise conventional society venemously. Ultimately, me or anyone being gay is no buisiness of anyones-it doesn’t condemn me as a bad person so no punishment is due. This demonstration is merely another defence, brought on only by people who love to hate what they don’t understand.
Death to gays?! the ignorance is palpaple to the extent of leaving an extremely bitter taste in my mouth.

That’s cool,- we got a small heroes instead of a fat ass mfuckas who can’t do sh*t. I think that’s why we dont have such a stupid president.
“who love to hate what they don’t understand”

This situation is a sad one. This makes no since as to why the people that are doing these childish actions are still viewing this matter in a bias way. Our lives are being controlled by people that are not even of the same sexual orientation. None the less do they have an understanding of what a homosexual truely is. This will and should make us even more stronger and determined to fight for our rights as human beings. If this event explains anything, it explains that this timeless battle for our rights will continue to be well fought, and earned. But this is a fight for common, civil, and human rights. I can say that I am not a man of violence but of a man that wants equal rights for all people no matter race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation by any means necassary. We must fight back as people. Humans, but with knowledge. All these years should show a solution we have not tried yet. This should give us great incite on what we need to do. I am a Gay Man that lives in the Washington D.C and Maryland area. Peace.

All of you are wrong.Its allways been against the parliament in Russia
and russia is not America. Just because they consider homosexuality okay here they are extremely against it over there. There are barely any homosexuals in Russia and because we do consider it satanic going by the bible they wont let it happen. Just because its the opposite here doesnt mean they should start doing it over there. There not going to get loose and let peoplke do whatever they want especially since the population in Russia is going down and homosexuals spread disease. In russia homosexuals sre made fun of and not very welcomed anywhwere even if their russian.
