A Case for Gay Pride



Here is footage of what happened on June 1, 2008 when a group of representatives of LGBTQ Russians gathered in central Moscow to demand equal rights and protest the "homophobic" policy of Moscow's Mayor, Yuri Luzhkov. The demonstration was illegal and led to several arrests.

This close to Pride, watching things like this really puts our annual celebration in perspective.

We really need to stop drinking Russian vodka. Footage like this makes us sick, but they we go to Halo and order a Stoli O and 7...

Is Stoli a homophobic vodka? It seems to mix with apple pucker ok.
