You seems to be missing the point really greatly. The tradition of gay prides were born exactly because LGBT for quite a long time were deprived of many basic civil rights, and faced widespread & supported by government and media bigotry and discrimination. The government, that, as I may remind you, was elected not by "few thousands" but by all 250+ millions peoples (there were fewer of you at this time)

Please show me any single civil right that heterosexuals and explicitly heterosexuals were denied of in all American history.

Yeah, like you, Americans demonize 144,5 million of us, Russians, because a few dozens were accused of somehow interfering with your president elections.

That was actually the British who interfered in the 2016 election by producing the Steel Dossier and giving it to Senator McCain to incite the Russians Hacked the Elections meme.

And then, a large majority of those 250 million people decided that was wrong, and changed the government.

You've done it again! A few Democrat politicians are raising a stink about supposed interference (which they have not produced any evidence of, after three years) and you blame all 327 million of us! Many of whom oppose their political witch-hunt.

Even the politicians are not blaming all Russians, only a few corrupt individuals.

Leftists. They literally don't know what they're saying.

Yeah, AFTER the LGBT community attracted attention by demanding civil rights & the end of persecution. Now maybe you understood, why the gay prides have a meaning, and straight prides are nothing more than exercise in camouflaging the bigotry?

Then why the US politic considering Russia became more and more hostile, and ethnic Russians, living in USA, started to feel the prejudice? Sorry, things just didn't work in your model.

You have all the rights that LGBTQ people have.

Arguably, you still have more rights than them.

So, it’s great to celebrate every sexual preference EXCEPT the one shared by about 95% of us? You want all of us to hide in shame because some assholes said mean things to the 5%? You're painting 300 million people guilty for the actions of a few thousand?


"said mean things" is a funny way of saying "creating and enforcing legislation making open displays of non-hetero/non-binary sexuality illegal". Pride exists because for a very long time, it was completely impossible to be "out and proud" without severe consequences. Hell, while non-discrimination language is now common in legislation, there are still plenty of businesses who will refuse to provide you with services (or who will provide worse or more expensive services) when they know you're gay or trans.

A current topic in our country is how a prominent footballer (in Rugby Union, proper football) is in trouble because he keeps tweeting that gays will go to hell. He is in a fundamentalist Christian sect.
Because of this his $4M contract has been torn up, and he is suing. He does seem to be unaware of the quote attributed to Christ that "A camel has more chance of passing through an eye of a needle, than a rich man into heaven".

It never ceases to amaze me that people seem to equate freedom of speech and freedom from consequence.

Quite a lot of 1930s mobsters were of Jewish origin, and they didn't like at all when some bigoted clowns started to sprout antisemitic slogans.

After some pretty hard "lessons" from NY mobsters (no killing, but a lot of broken Nazi bones...), the horrified Nazi demanded police protection for their rallies. The NY major unexpectedly agreed - and provided "police protection", that, "incidentally", consisted only of black & Jewish policemen. :D

So, by the end of 1930s, the NY Nazi were completely disorganized, laughable bunch, that were too afraid to even meet each other. :) Effective results, huh?



By the time that the Facism and National Socialism movements arose, the Jewish/American "mobsters" had evolved into legitimate proffessionals and retailer, and were replaced by either Irish/American mobsters or Italian/American mobsters, both of whom were predominantly Catholic.

Very, very few police officers in modern America are Jewish and even fewer were Jewish back in the 1930s. Black police officers were almost non existant until well after World War 2.

Stop spewing feces and deal with reality.
