Prominent gay activist and lawyer Nikolai Alexeyev was arrested at Domodedovo airport on Wednesday evening as he tried to board a plane bound for Geneva. He sent text messages on Thursday morning telling friends he had been taken out of the city and did not know exactly where he was, while he faced pressure to halt his law suit against mayor Yury Luzhkov.

“It is quite possible that the arrest was connected with a picket demanding the resignation of the homophobic mayor of Moscow Luzhkov,” Alexeyev’s colleague Nikolai Bayev said in a press release on Gayrussia.ru. Gay activists had previously announced a picket against the mayor on his birthday with banners saying ‘Luzhkov – Gomik’ (Luzhkov is a homo).

Every time someone says “homophobic” like it actually has a legitimate meaning, I know they and their cause are not to be taken seriously.

In fact the word ‘Homo’ considered insulting for a straight person in Eastern Europe. Public insulting a person using a word like that is a federal crime following Russian criminal code so I don’t know why that ‘activist’ is surprised.

When you push to hard trying to legitimize your perversion, sometimes people push back. Russians are very good at pushing back.

Really? We should beat the hell out of gays here? That is a despicable position to take.

Disagree with them? Sure. Oppose them politically? Of course. Beat the hell out of them? No way.
