Gays and the former Eastern Bloc

gay bashing    
The former communist states of eastern Europe, including Yugoslavia and Albania, as well as the countries of the Warsaw Pact have meld into individual portions of populace with the same attitudes and preconceived notions of the old iron curtain eastern bloc days gone by.

I was reading about some of the current ideology regarding gays and the utter denial of their existence in much of the region coupled with those horror stories replete with videos which surface now and then.

Given the decidedly hostile attitudes in Russia, Chechnya, Ukrane, and so forth I suppose it's only natural that the gay people flock to countries somewhat less predisposed to murdering them all and allowing to rot where they drop on the streets. They're not even human beings according to Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya and his attitudes pervade those from the region with whom I occasionally interact.

Now then, I suppose I might be a lot less demanding with such a large sector of the population out to exterminate you like so much vermin.

I view the gay person as an endangered species. I'm not so inclined not to recognize them as human beings as some apparently are — but I sure wouldn't be going around getting too proud in celebrations and parades based on what I'm reading in some of the so-called "mainstream" press.

Perhaps it's all fake news anyway.
