Don't care.

Well what did you expect. You're in Russia. That's like going to San Francisco with a confederate flag and a sign that says "I hate gays".

Go to any corner in San Francisco holding up a sign "Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." and see what the loving homosexuals do in response.

Probably not physically assault you like this. And if they do, they should be arrested as well.

I am very familiar with Russian culture.

Gays displaying themselves like that is outside of social norms there. Not just gays, there are things that are outside of social norms in Russian where they are not in US.

I do expect Russians to treat their outspoken gays even worst in response to your criticism.

The meme that the majority of hate crimes against gays are caused by white guys with big trucks in small rural towns is frankly a lie.

It's just not politically comfortable to talk about because gays and their most typical assailants fall under the same general political affiliation.

If you REALLY care about gays getting beaten etc. you might want to take a hard look at your own country and the breakdown of who is attacking them by checking out the FBI crime stats.

At least I know you are not gay. White gays stereotype poor blacks way more than poor whites. If ask any white gay I know what part of town they wouldn't hold hands in they will always list black communities. Maybe what you are missing is that gay people see cities as safer and more accepting than rural areas. That doesn't mean they see rural whites as more bigoted.

NYC is pretty liberal, when riding the subway how far can you venture from midtown displaying gay PTA without being attacked?

Do I want to watch gays display affection in public ? No I don't. It's not pleasant to look at.

Try holding hands in a Islamic country (or even a few European ones) with a heavy Islamic population.

They have the right to bear stones in those countries.

People are very mean there!!!


Video: Watch what happens when two gay men hold hands while walking around Moscow - Telegraph

I wonder if those who walk by and say nothing are those who havent been brainwashed?? (to think its wrong (I reckon so))
Saying nothing is not the same as disapproving. I see homos at PDA, like when the wife and I went to go see Cher in concert, and realize with relief thank goodness I was not born genetically deviant as they are. Same as when you see disabled person. Too bad for them. Thank goodness it is not me.

Nothing really horrible happened in the video, good samaritans got them to stop holding hands. Since there is no blood and no one i bleeding in the gutter, it went ok !

I do not agree with the above poster, there is no proof that homosexuality is a genetic disorder, could be a psychological disorder.
