Gays and Lesbians in Russia
- Share via
I truly feel sorry for the gays and lesbians in the former Soviet Union. That any nation would commit such atrocities in this modern era is unthinkable. But what should our priorities be? The people as a whole, starving through a harsh winter and faced with a runaway inflation? A nuclear arsenal in unaccountable hands? Russian Jews? Russian gays?
I’m sure we all want a fair and equitable future for the people of the new commonwealth, but let’s get through the winter without everyone blowing up first.
