The colorful mayor of Moscow, Yury Luzhkov, said this about a planned gay pride parade through downtown Moscow:
"A gay parade… cannot be called anything but a Satanic act," Yury Luzhkov told an education conference, quoted by Interfax news agency. "We haven’t permitted such a parade and we won’t permit it in the future."
Luzhkov called for gay marchers to be punished. "It’s high time that we stop propagating nonsense discussions about human rights, and bring to bear on them the full force and justice of the law," he said.
That’s how gays are treated in Russia. Which makes it all the more ridiculous when American gays compare their yearning for legal “marriage” with blacks who sought freedom from slavery.
In Russia, if you walk down the street in assless chaps leading another man on a dog leash, the police will sick an actual dog on you, crack your skull open, and then throw you in jail.
In Iran, they just hang you and then claim there are no gays in Iran.
I’m not on opponent of gay marriage by any means. I don’t have a problem with gay people getting married, but I think the over-the-top rhetoric and the melodramatic displays of phony persecution ring hollow when you see what real persecution of gays looks like.
