I was not going to DO anything there or even risk going to an underground gay bar: zero bang for a lot of bucks, I imagine. I can wait for Miami Beach. There are a lot of hot guys and girls in Russia, and I know there must be a good twenty million or so gays and lesbians. Of course, high fashion on the streets in Russia these days is similar to Members Only from the 80's- maybe they bought the brand's repossessed clothing manufacturing machinery for a discount- so there is no way to identify anyone by fashion sense. Even the dorks driving the Porches dress the same as the other dorks. And pretty much everyone is in top shape, so that's no clue. Perhaps Putin needed to perscute someone to look as if he's a powerful Russian general, and gays probably pose the least fall out for him. Probably hardly anyone can be identified as a gay anyway, so there are probably only arrests when it is convenient, like for when a policeman wants your new car. To the gulag with you, malodoy chenovich, and i shall make sure we maintain the Lexus as evidence.
A lot of people in the Gay Community are rallying behind the Russian gays, but I am not terribly concerned about them. What makes you think they are any nicer than the other awful people, just because their genes tell them they have a different breeding role from the straight ruskis? Honestly, they already have grim lives in a nasty, corrupt, crass police state, so the unlikely chance of being persecuted for being gay is the least of their worries. Are we supposed to save the rest of the population from their dreadful existance, too, since they are probably all members of at least one of our affinity groups? A dreadful existance is really the people's own construction, so perhaps a better policy is to let them duke it out themselves. That sounds heartless, but I agree with Reagan, containment is probably the best solution for the Russian problem.
