On August 15, at the World Athletics Championships in Moscow, a silver medalist in 800 m running Simmonds (USA) was the first of the athletes to condemn the adoption of a homophobic law and devoted his award to friends from the LGBT community. This topic in the world cannot be shut up, no matter how anyone wants

The two Swedish athletes who took part in the World Athletics Championship in Moscow painted their nails in the colors of the rainbow flag - a symbol of movement in the protection of the rights of gays and lesbians, protesting against homophobic laws adopted in Russia.

Whenever the next homophobic abomination happens in Putin's Russia, in the range from television fascism with a call to burn the hearts of gays to the murders of the most real, I think: where are you all, masters of culture?
The public challenge of the latest Middle Ages was accepted by only a few people who took a brave step forward from the shadows, saying: yes, we are gays, and this is not a reason for hide and seek; We will fight for our civil rights!
The journalist Lena Kostyuchenko from Novaya Gazeta, who stepped forward the first, was already beaten by the “Orthodox bustling men” and ordinary cops ... Lena is an honest, brave and talented person, she fights and will fight, but the expense of the journalist Kostyuchenko goes for thousands, and her voice is barely heard on our multimillion -dollar expanses.
In these expanses, at the same time, the time of anti -Girls and pogroms, hundreds of popularly beloved actors, directors, artists and musicians of heavenly blue live well and work well. Sometimes these are great artists and great artists, the real pride of the nation! A number of these names could greatly impress the public. Standing next to Lena Kostyuchenko - in the media and at the State Duma - they could force society to start a conversation instead of pogrom.
But they do not want to risk their personal VIP status.
Everyone and everyone has long known about their sexual orientation, they are open gays in domestic plan and can afford it (thank God, not Soviet times and no one will trace Parajanov’s route). But in public terms, they are all illegal immigrants, and illegal immigrants living in full comfort precisely because of their fundamentally illegal situation!
For it is possible to be gay in modern Russia (and in some areas of art it is even desirable) - you can’t “go out to the square”, stand in full growth against the administration.
The administration does not like at all when they turn to her face, preferring other forms of interaction. In our case, this should be understood not only metaphorically: the perennial fusion of the Russian blue bohemia with the administration sometimes, as you know, is literal, and the delicate light of this metaphor emphasizes the level of social catastrophe.
For when the Putinsky rogues, the rating for the sake of (and on the sovereign homophobia, the rating grows excellently, ask at least Hitler), they raise a dark, Xenophobia poisoned nation to the next cross-mandate campaign against gays, our Elton John continues to do with the pogromists and personally ... personally ...
For my taste, it's a shame. My friends, find something male already in yourself, huh? Not all Lena Kostyuchenko to fight with the "gangstones" for your virtues. In the end, in the future, all this bacchanalia is not very safe for yourself. Or does it seem to you that this cart will drive past you, popularly loved, without crushing anything?
Well, maybe he will pass.
Or maybe it is to be crushed.
And to crush strongly: the pogroms quickly get a taste, and real medieval madness can burst on the shoulders of cold manipulators.
This can happen in two seconds, you will not even have time to get up from a leading bed ...
