Inside Russia's Anti-Gay Vigilante Army, Occupy Pedophilia

Last night, the U.K.'s Channel 4 aired Hunted, a wide-ranging documentary about homophobia in Russia. Its biggest coup was achieving access to the inner workings of Occupy Pedophilia, the largest vigilante group responsible for the hunting down of, physical abuse against, and public humiliation of gay people (predominantly gay men). Though such footage has been making the rounds, this is the first time I've seen the planning and luring process of the group. Via the third-party cameras, we also get a sense of how long such an ordeal lasts (an hour). Though mild in violence, the footage above is as hard to watch as the rest of this stuff, so proceed with caution.

PROPAGANDA is still alive & well in Mother Russia!

I am probably going to get beat over the head for this but I am a proud member of Pink Pistols & maybe it's high time we get charters in Russia.

Thanks to Human Rights Watch, we're able to see the harrowing footage of the brave LGBTQ community in Russia standing up for their rights despite being severely threatened, tortured, and in fear of their own lives.

Yet their attackers seem to not fear the law at all — and that is because they are essentially free to get away with this type of treatment. So much so that they even upload their own videos of torture onto YouTube. See the footage below and speak out against this horrifying behavior.

Warning: This video is truly horrendous, and it contains graphic images (pretty much from 11 seconds in).

provide a convenient target for organized hatred. First they come for the gays, and the they come for you. Wake up, Russia. Same could happen in the US, all these types of personalities are here, we are not immune.
