Readers of the gay media - and in particular their ever-sane message boards - will know that what's happening to The Gays in Russia right now is every bit as bad - nay worse - than what happened in Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa.
It must be, 'cause that's what everyone says, and anyone who thinks differently (independently?) is a quisling, as evil as a holocaust denier.
Got that, you little Eichmann?
"Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune" - Noam Chomsky.
Here's a brilliant and important article on that whole Russia thing by Scott Long, 'Queer Quislings', which says everything I'd have liked to have said about the current climate of hysteria and hypocrisy, if only I was smart, literate and not such a "cynical", "bitter", "snarky", and "grotesque Soviet-lover".
Enjoy!
Update: The frighteningly rightwing gay porn mogul Michael Lucas attacks Johhny Weir - unsurpringly - in a shitty little op-ed for Out.
And - again - Scott Long replies, destroying Lucas and that other far right gay goon, Jamie Kirchick, in a brilliant and very funny piece.

I'm a bit worried about Scott Long.
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't tweeted or posted on his blog in over a week.
I asked him on twitter yesterday if he was okay. No reply yet.
He's in Egypt, I think, isn't he?
