Ah, yes, Russia. The bastion of tolerance and diversity. You'd never have anyone gay bother you there. Mostly because they'd get beaten to death. But hey, at least you are free to slander and discriminate against them!
That's no excuse to go to the opposite extreme where you can get spammed with harassing emails and phone calls, have your property vandalised, lose your job and be publicly shamed because you dare to disagree with the status quo.
