Sochi Mayor Says: "There are no gay people in the city"

lol, either there are a whole lot of people trolling in this thread or there are a whole lot of people being extremely edgy in this thread.

I don't see what's so bad about that.

I can imagine a bunch of gay guys sprinkling fairy dust and saying Latin backwards in a frilly voice.

Mentioning anything about gay and acting "super gay" gets you kicked out. At least this is how I see it.

I know, "non-traditional" something something "do not expose the gay to our children" basically has grounds to do with anything gay, doesn't have to be rainbow flags.

But when asked whether gay people had to hide their loveuality in Sochi, the Mayor said: "No, we just say that it is your business, it's your life. But it's not accepted here in the Caucasus where we live. We do not have them in our city."

When challenged, the mayor admitted that he was not certain there were no gay people in Sochi: "I am not sure, but I don't bloody know them."

Doesn't look like it.

They still aren't accepted there though.

They're still not accepted in America either. Get over yourself.

REMOVE friend YOU ARE WORST


Fun fact: these laws came into being after an LGBT protestor showed up at a parade honoring Russia's airborne infantry, the VDV. He started shouting about LGBT rights and stuff until a bunch of VDV started kicking the stuff out of him. The cops had to pull the troops off of him.

Russian people actually hate gay people. There is no propaganda here. This is legitimately what they believe. The fact that people in the US are so mad about their "intolerance" is cruel irony.

What a terribly inappropriate time to "protest"

"There are very many clubs for gay people in Moscow - in Sochi we have two gay clubs as well. In some places there's serious prejudice against gay people. In other places it's not as bad."
