Hunted: The War on Gays in Russia.
Documentary on HBO.
Scary shit. Institutionalized homophobia.
Violent attacks on gays have increased tremendously. Roving packs of vigilantes hunt gays, attack and film the attacks. They then post them online.
Russia passed a law last summer that a all positive and neutral references to non-traditional relationships is illegal. The Russian parliament passed it unanimously.
One vigilante said it all: Russia is hell for homosexuals.
