based upon financial, societal and educational inequality, as is most ignorance and lack of understanding in human rights. Fixing economies will do a lot more for homosexual equality than someone screaming "that one must speak out". I am speaking out, just differently than they way you would prefer. Once again, I am addressing root cause issues.
Speaking out so loudly during the Olympics led to a surge in Putin's approval rating, people blaming LGBT individuals for Russiaphobia and an anti-American backlash globally....not in the USA of course as we are encapsulated from global criticism.....Essentially it did very little for helping LGBT people in Russia, sadly.
Once again, growing the Russian economy and putting people to work and giving people the money to pay for education will fix these ignorance based problems.
