Russian Gays Look to U.S. for Asylum .
WSJ ^ | August 16, 2013 | PAUL SONNE

Artem Mitrofanov came to the U.S. with scars of growing up gay in Russia. Some were literal, such as the one on his wrist from the day he says a skinhead slashed him with a broken bottle. Others were internal, including pains in his kidney, which he says are the result of being beaten by assailants wielding religious icons who told him he should die.



Still others were psychological. "If you're gay, that's it. It's like a mark on you," said Mr. Mitrofanov, who is 27 and from Moscow. His solution was to leave. He applied for asylum in the U.S. in 2009 and won refuge in 2010.

Sort of ironic - in 2013 the Russian Gays seek Asylum in America and rush into the arms of gay loving perverted Zero, while at the same time an American NSA subcontractor seeks Asylum in Russian to escape prosecution by Zero.

Wonderful!
That's just what we need...

More perverts in addition to millions of ignorant, illiterate arrogant illegal criminals.
Finally, pathologically sicko groups I earnestly hope will never assimilate. Or be "elected" to Congress.

Or is it already too late?

Oh, yeah. Look for the AIDS and other STD rates to decline in Russia over the next decade as they surely sky-rocket here in the USA.

It will happen.

It makes sense.

Under the Obama regime, we’re all taking it up the ass.

Obama insults Putin. Obama wants Snowden.

As a mere exercise of fun, Putin passes laws in Russia making Obama's gay friends political assylum seekers in order to dump them on America (as a joke on Obama).

Interesting, I'm sure they'll come here and cause all kinds of trouble for the normal heterosexual Americans by using their protected status.

I have always believed that Putin ran the Chechen campaign in such a manner as to motivate Chechen terrorist to flee to the west as much as kill them.

Considering the major success of that campaign, and then Boston, I think Putin is exporting recognized and potential Russian problems.

Overall, the makeup of the invading foreign army is ironic, but America, here they come.
