Gay Rights (Ep. 1): In St. Petersburg “gay” is a synonym of “pedophile”


Important note: I’ll ask you to send the link of this blog to you friends! Maybe together we will stop this lawlessness. Thanks a lot!

Many foreigners are fond of St. Petersburg, the true cultural center of Russia. It’s one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It’s one of the most progressive cities in Russia. And now we can add one more epithet to this list: St. Petersburg is one of the most homophobic cities in the world.

The Legislative Assembly of the city decided that propaganda of homosexual orientation is as bad as propaganda of pedophilia. In fact the city authorities put the sign = between words “gay” and “pedophile”.

And what do you think means the term “propaganda of homosexual”? I’ll explain you with the help of three simple examples.

1. You and your boyfriend went to St. Petersburg on weekend. You fell in love with the city, you love each other and are happy to be here together. And then you… may be… kiss each other in presence of a policemen. You and you boyfriend will be arrested. After several hours in a cell (where you can have a great sex, for example – it’s a free voyage tip!) you will be taken to the court. The judge will say something like this: “You were bad, bad boys! Pay the fine and go back to your shitty USA!”

2. You are Sir Elton John. And you have been already guilty. Sorry, Elton, but you are the best propaganda of homosexual orientation in this world!

3. You decided to wear a stupid rainbow collared T-shit. The policeman will ask you to take it off! In St. Petersburg rainbow is out of law nowadays!

But don’t think that the citizens of St. Petersburg don’t struggle against this stupid law. For example, they regularly post video against the law on YouTube.


And on the cover of the April issue of magazine “Big City” you can read: “In this issue on pages 18-31 it's reported than homosexual orientation is as normal as heterosexual. Don’t show this issue to idiots and the deputies of St. Petersburg’s Legislative Assembly.” 


P.S.Please, don't pass by! The more people all over the world new about this terrible problem - the better! Just send the link of this blog to your friends and colleges!
