"We are conducting a peaceful action. We want to show that we have the same rights as other citizens," Alexeyev told a news conference a few hours before events turned violent.
The crowd opposed to gay rights and the rally included women who held up religious icons. They were joined by men in Cossack traditional dress — white sheepskin hats and black-and-red tunics.
Police quickly moved in as the first half-dozen rally participants arrived carrying flowers. They were joined by about 100 religious and nationalist extremists who kicked and punched some of the activists.
As Volker Beck, a Green member of Germany's national parliament, was giving a TV interview, about 20 nationalist youths surrounded him and punched him in his face, bloodying his nose.

Glob are you "pidar" yourself?:)
Same sort of thing happened some years back when a gaggle of gays tried something similar inside the the Pacific Exchange. A bunch'a red-blooded traders in Italian suits ganged up on 'em and kicked 'em to da curb.
We missed a most important matter here. It is not that gay activists were beaten just beacause they were gay. read the article again:
Gays tried to protest infront a central monument of WWII in Moscow, now Russia lost 20,000,000 people in that war, and german PM was supporting gays right there, on place made to hold memory on fallen soldier, and also his country Germany was responsabile for killing 20,000,000 Russians.
So, that was most outrageus act done by gays and german moron, to compare gayrights to right of freedom that millions gave life for!
I wonder how noone was killed riht there!
When it comes down to it, everything in Moscow ends violently.
Ain't gonna happen in Rosha. They need to come over here like everybody else does.
They would beat up the ACLU too. We should buy those commie rats plane tickets back to the country they used to love so much.
"too many people are intimidated by the goofball liberal PC press"
You can lose your job for speaking against them. Keep in mind, we aren't that free a country anymore.
It's all about force and the threat of physical violence anyway. Just that the gays / lesbians / homosexuals use the legal system (power of the state) to enforce the laws once they get their way.
Talk to a few gays/lesbians some time without letting on to what you may think of their lifestyle and see how they think. What they want and how they expect to get it.
Basically it comes down to passing laws and after that they expect the law (the police enforcement power of the state) to do their enforcement work for them.
Same response to you:

I ment that liberalism was celebrated in seventies and now have overruned conservative america.
From gay-rights we will soon form straight-right groups...
It's a Slavic thing.
Whatever happened to "live and let live?"
That's at stretch. The rally in Russia was the law being broken, the use of police and legal power is the law being enforced.

Right now, the attitude amongst gay activists is, "Keep pushing and wait". They know that they'll get what they want (civil unions, minority recognition, etc.) as the young people get older and take power.

That's what the police are there for, to uphold the law.
I'm sorry, but I get the feeling that I'm missing some essential point that you're making.
Don't forget also -use of a good microbicide PRIOR to waiting for the HIV/AIDS test results...
They are just in different countries, so they play their cards a little differently.
