Crowds break up gay rights rallies in Georgia, Russia

[J]

Gays and their supporters have hissy fits when they don't get their
way in America. They need only look east and see how the people react
to their 'demands' in Brenda Nelson's country of origin, Russia, and
maybe they'll realize how good they have it here.

TBILISI/ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Large crowds of anti-gay
protesters broke up homosexual rights rallies in Georgia and Russia on
Friday, underlining deep hostility in the former Soviet bloc.

Thousands of Georgians pushed their way through police barriers
protecting around 50 people marking International Day Against
Homophobia in a square in capital Tblisi.

Waving banners marked with the slogans "Stop Homosexual Propaganda in
Georgia" and "Not in our city", they forced the small groups of
campaigners to flee in buses.

In the Russian city of St Petersburg, an aggressive, mostly male crowd
threw smoke bombs over police barriers and shouted "Death to Faggots"
and other insults.

A hugely outnumbered band of gay rights campaigners also had to pile
into buses minutes after the start of their rally.

"Stalin would have showed you and exiled all these," a man dressed in
urban camouflage shouted as activists hurried away.

Attitudes towards gay people in Russia and former Soviet states are
largely shaped by repressive Stalin-era policies, when sodomy was
punishable by up to five years in jail.

"The rally... had a funeral-like atmosphere since homophobic crimes in
Russia are on the rise... by the kind of people who view Jews as
abnormal, blacks as abnormal and gays and lesbians as second-class
citizens," Yuri Gavrikov, head of the Russian LGBT-rights organization
Ravnopravo, or Equal Rights, said.

J must be a big fan of Stalin, not only of Nazis.

What they've won in the West, they've fought for. In Russia it's just
beginning.

Yeah, we know, IBen. You'd like nothing less then the power to do that
here, wouldn't you?

It's comforting that USA isn't the only country with large crowds of
small-minded bigots. I wonder if they have their own equivalent of the
Tea Party?

Sick J's entire life has been a series of hissy fits as he bounces
from defending one losing cause to another whining and sobbing all the
way. Frustrated J consistently chooses to be on the wrong side of
every issue.
