Good work, but whilst gay men are being hung by cranes in Iran? Puts it in context somewhat. Putin as "strong man" is not a concept that we fully understand I suspect - it is obvious that he is using these unsavory policies to placate domestic unrest, no? Despite the crazy (in our eyes anyway) pics of him about hunting or whatever..maybe he is quite urbane.

Having said that Elton is now officially a saint, didn't have to do it did he. Good on ya Sir E!

Iran and Russia? a typical piece of subtle trolling there. The only intention being to wind people up. Like talking about fuel poverty and then saying...well you know they might well get pneumonia but just look at the situation in North Korea / Syria etc. Blah! stick to the point, sunshine! Is Vlad Putin a macho man in reality? irrelevant again...the policy is the problem not his public image.

Putin recently described Stalin as "no worse than Oliver Cromwell" Makes you wonder don't it.

There is nothing new under the sun as the saying goes! I was reading that there is gay bar in Sochi and a drag queen called Madame Zhu-Zha who has been saying stuff. Gay vistors have been warned not to ""impose their habits on others." ha! So know blowing your nose on the serviettes then!

It doesn't really matter if Putin likes to do his nails on a Sunday, that was not the point. Putin's image is meant to appeal to the immature Russian electorate. The same thing with this policy to demonize homosexuality; it is not of our soil, not of our people, it is a corruption of our wholesome and glorious culture. One of those clowns in Sochi even said there were no gays in their region! This is one of those old soil and volk issues rising up from the sewers of yore.To suppose, as suggested by many bigots there, that homosexuality is somehow learned, or is a kind of career choice, is bullshit. Immature electorate...what do you get...reactionary ideology / easy answers and jingoism. There is another point here, but that can wait.

"but that can wait."

We await the completion of your sermon with great interest. "sewers of yore" could be the title of one of your sci-fi novels...just sayin'

The other point is the "failing decadent" ancien regime as opposed to the glorious re-born homeland. Nascent plutocracies only find certain aspects of the European liberal model attractive - the free market bit. Said plutocrats do not like nasty annoying stuff like human rights, free press, and what have you. Gay rights is something that an ill educated and suspicious electorate (bathed in machismo) find challenging. It is the same with the race card - it can divert attention away from organic structural change. Note that many Russian loons claim that gays do not exist in their area, it is a Western phenomenon. Mugabe has also said similar I think. Bollocks of course.

Thanks Professor! If you are correct then it seems they have opened Pandorra's box:

"Dmitry Kiselev told another programme on Rossiya 1 in 2012 that the hearts of homosexuals killed in car accidents "should be buried or burnt as unfit for prolonging anybody's life".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25778272

Shocking.

Dmitry Kiselev is a looker! Sorry to be flippant.

Bernie Ecclestone, that paragon of high minded loveliness, agrees with Putin! You can imagine that a bronzed Ganymede like our Bernie must have some wolf whistles in his day. What a dish!
