Hunted like animals in Russia!

[CaptainAwesome]

I stumbled upon this DISTURBING documentary of what life is like for Gays in Russia. The degree of intolerance that most of their society holds towards the concept of homosexuality and the LGBT community is unbelievable. There are gangs that hunt>capture>assault>humiliate gay men on videos which are posted online and nothing is done by the authorities because "In Russia there's no such thing as a gay-hate crime".
My heart goes out to those LGBT folks in that country.





The filmmaker shares what it was like shooting for the documentary in the next video.

I saw that documentary on TV and yes, it is horrific. And Russia calls itself a civilised country?

[Virge]

I guess it's pretty out there in the open how I'd deal with this.

I watched the channel4 documentary with Reggie Yates. Some of those people weren't even homophobes they we're just blatant sadists and psychopaths taking advantage of the lack of legal protection.

I'm a peaceful man but the sooner Vladimir Putin drops dead the better.

When I watched this I took Russia off my to do list.

For a country with sexy men they do screw things up pretty hard over there...

I still find the accent sexy but I'll just fantasize about them without setting foot in the horrid country.

Read about this before and Russia was already out of my list. I also have a thought of "never date a Russian guy" but I'm hang-out with a Russian guy now. God always give me what I hate somehow LOL

Yeah, that's what happens in Russia. You have to be very careful to who you come out to or else....well you know.

I don't think Russians are really homophobics. They want to oppose the USA and they just won't do what the States did.

I came to the same conclusion after reading Jeff Charlet's article in GQ about life in Russia for LGBT people:
