[lbo-talk] Queers Assaulted at Moscow Pride

[Chris Doss]

'"Also arrested was Marco Cappato, a member of the
European Parliament (MEP) from Italy. Kicked by
fascists as he spoke to journalists; Cappato began
shouting, "Where are the police? Why don't you protect
us?"'

Noone with any first-hand experience of the Moscow
police would ever utter such a naive statement. :) 

There was a long interview with Elton John and one of
the Pet Shop Boys a couple of months ago in the
Russian edition of Rolling Stone in which they were
toying with the idea of coming to Moscow and doing
some kind of gay pride concert. I doubt anything will
come of that but who knows.

Speaking of gay icons, Mark Almond of Soft Cell fame
practically lives in St. Petersburg. He did an album
of covers of Soviet-era songs a couple of years ago.
