Russia anti-gay views on rise; teachers face brunt

Alevtina is one of several teachers who lost their jobs in St. Petersburg after being outed by an anti-gay activist. While most resigned quietly, the 27-year-old music teacher decided to fight her dismissal in court — an unusual step in Russia where gays have faced increasing pressure in recent years.

The rising anti-gay sentiment has coincided with the passage of a controversial Russian law that prohibits exposing children to gay "propaganda." The law has made it easy to target teachers, because they work directly with children.

‘Alevtina said only a few close friends knew she was lesbian and she never attended gay pride rallies. Her sexual orientation was exposed by Timur Isayev, an anti-gay activist representing an organization called Parents of Russia.’

Color me skeptical, but how could they know she is homosexual if she was allegedly still being in ‘closet’?

‘She refused to resign and was fired for “immoral behavior incompatible with pedagogical activities” — effectively ending her teaching career.’

There must be more to this story.

Good. They’ve proved here their true intentions, no sympathy for them
