did gay people get beat up during the olympics? i really dont know. looking at the comments and no one even posting 1 link tells me that it didnt happen
You don’t get beaten in Russia for being gay unless you’re holding hands or making out with your boyfriend in public, and even then it probably won’t happen in broad daylight in a big city. The sort of people who beat gays are trash, but most young people in Russia don’t mind what people do in their bedrooms as long as they don’t air it in public. How about when you go to another country you respect the local traditions.
Also:
expecting football hooligans to be civilized, progressive, functioning members of society
I didn’t say that Russian culture is beyond reproach for its attitude towards gay people. By all means, if you want to voice your opinion about it from outside the country, or if your a Russian citizen, go right ahead. But you shouldn’t expect to go to Russia or any other country as a foreigner with some kind of boat-rocking, activist agenda that defies contemporary norms in that country and expect to make any progress or friends. That’s what the US does in MENA and what many Muslims do in non-Muslim countries, and it’s a dangerous, stupid way to look at the world.

How would gay people be identified and harassed unless they were behaving like faggots at a pride parade?

It's crazy how the most popular form of suicide over there are multiple gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
