    Documentary about homophobia in Russia

    It's about 50 minutes long but for anyone who cares about the subject it's worth a watch.

    Hope it's better than "The Adonis Factor".

    So, let me try to nail the premise...

    Homophobia is bad, and in Russia an ultra-conservative country, it is even worse with near legalized persecution of homosexuals.

    Should I still watch the video?

    I'd just read the "youtube comments" probably more entertaining.

    Just finished watching it. It's amazing how aggressors feel so entitled and self righteous when they have the church and the state behind them. It gets to the point where they even argue that the very existence of gay people is a provocation to christians to act in violence.

    I don't like nails on a chalkboard anymore than I do gay bashing.
