#19I realize the difference with Russia is that it is practically illegal for LGBT to exist but let's talk about the USA for a moment where 33 states refuse to consider legalizing gay marriage and a few are even testing of the idea of emergency suspending ALL marriages just so people who are gay cannot marry if they cannot be excluded separately.
There are still plenty of places in the USA where you could be killed for being gay, the difference is not by the state but by individuals.
So we are not exactly a shining beacon ourselves.
