there are some that think the coverage of anti-gay hate in Russia is nothing more than propaganda and we are being told, as gay people, that it is all smoke and mirrors and because a gay bar in Sochi had an uneventful night, we are all paranoid sheep. And it's from a "Bisexual".

As a side note since the opening ceremonies I have found out that many that I have respected & loved for years here on DU don't have a fucking clue to human rights violations & I will never view these members again without seeing them as wearing tarnished armor.

and the exact person. There are other people on DU who have basically chocked it up to propaganda as well.

I'll say it if you won't. Some people, in an attempt to foster the "all cultures are good" bend over backwards to justify that belief.
SO we get... "Russia is not that bad, the US is bad too" or " just because XXX country subjugates women and gays, it's their culture and the US is bad too."

Many of them have stilted, dated verbiage.

or else the World Congress of Families, both appear to have quite an online presence.

When somebody accuses me of "red-baiting" when I make a comment supporting the basic human rights of the LGBT citizens of Russia, my inner alarm bell clangs. Seeing it three individual times within one innocent thread, and the lahar siren blows.

Did you see the quote from Scott Lively?

Lively: Russian Hate Crimes Are Faked

"I have just two words in response the Human Rights Watch video of supposed homosexual harassment in Russia: Matthew Shepard. I say the Human Rights Watch video is just another piece of deceptive Machiavellian 'gay' propaganda, offered to prove the completely false narrative that all disapproval of homosexuality leads to hatred and murder. Whether or not any parts of the video are unstaged, the product as a whole is perpetrating a hoax. Do not be fooled. The 'gays' are not the victims, at least not as a class. In stories like this they are usually the bullies beating up each other (or themselves) on and off camera, sometimes by consent, to dupe the public into granting them collective 'victim status,' with all of the extensive social and political benefits that entails." - Scott Lively, in a column published by hate group leader Matt Barber's new website, which launched today.

How's it going over, on FaceBook? I don't do FB, but from what I've heard of the site, seems like they'd take a heavy hand and possibly censor such a disturbing video.

And the video is still up. I've had some share it, and many state they're sickened by what's happening.
