A still from "Luge" a Canadian group's ad protesting anti-gay idiocy in Russia. |
The government goes after them, vigilante groups brutally attack gay people there. Disgusting beyond belief.
A silver lining to all this is that the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are shining a spotlight on these abuses. I don't know if it will force any changes, but there is pressure on the government and the people of Russia to back off.
Sometimes, the best forms of protest involve humor, and a group called the Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion put together an AWESOME 30-second, Olympic themed ad calling the homophobic Russians out.
Here's the video, Enjoy:
