What looks to be an interesting Dispatches documentary tonight at 2200hr and no doubt generate much debate;
On the eve of the Sochi Winter Olympics, Russia is officially welcoming gay athletes and spectators. But in a country where it's thought only 1% of gay people dare to live completely openly, it appears to be a hollow gesture.
This extraordinary Dispatches documentary has gained unique access to the vigilante gangs that target gay men and women. The film depicts a country troubled by disturbing violence and distressing intimidation.
Six months after the Russian parliament unanimously passed a law to protect children from 'non-traditional' relationships, this film explores the terror that gay people in Russia are calling 'hunting season'.

watch this and see if you still agree with that
I'm not gay myself but despise any form of hate toward other races or minorities as it's at the very root of Nazi ideology. However i will view with an open mind as i've always believed judging from an armchair can never compare to actually going to the country and meeting people.
I spend a lot of time in East European countries and been surprised at the wide ranging views, and ages, of people holding extreme right wing views. Those with neo-Nazi views can be particularly disturbing as not all are the 'skinhead' bull headed thug type.
Am I right in thinking that it's only Russia and some African countries where homophobia is still rife?
Thanks to the strong religious influence, I think Mexico is pretty horrible for gay people.
Thanks for the hashtag
I know what you mean
