Russia’s Anti-Gay Vigilantes Exposed in Their Own Shocking Videos

I found this article with video in the 'World Time' news website. I found the video very shocking and even more upsetting. That is the link to the story:  http://world.time.com/2014/02/05/watch-russias-anti-gay-vigilantes-exposed-in-their-own-shocking-videos/

  It shows how gay man is being beaten on camera.  The gang is mentally and physically abusing the gay person, asking him to rape himself with a bottle.

 “A video of assaults compiled by Human Rights Watch shows gay men set upon by gangs, humiliated, punched, kicked and forced to torture themselves on tape. Activists said the gangs, with names like “Occupy Pedophiles,” recorded the attacks and styled themselves as defenders of Russian children. Human Rights Watch said the attacks coincided with a surge of anti-gay rhetoric from Russian leaders and media figures promoting an official ban on gay “propaganda.” As for the propaganda above, Human Rights Watch met with one of its victims, 28 years old, who said police had yet to carry out a meaningful investigation or identify any of the suspects on tape”.

   The most shocking part of all this is that the Russian government is not fighting gangs like that, contrarily  – gangs like that stand for the government’s opinion about gay people.

    Gangs, calling themselves defenders of the Russian children, are showing a completely wrong way of thinking and obviously, behaving to Russian children. It is very sad that the children are growing up, watching this kind of example. There is no bright future for anyone, neither for straight, neither for gay people in the country if the government is illiberal towards its own people.
