Chechen authorities ‘round up’ more than 100 gay men

Kadyrov will remain in power for as long as he is useful to the state.

The anti-homosexual attitude expressed by the Chechens is the same as offered by the Russian state and Russian Orthodox Church.

Expect no change.

And the asshole GOP are Christians as well to fucking stupid along with Russian Orthodox Christians to understand there really isn't that much difference between their bigotry against LGBT and that of Islam. USA may be slightly ahead sure, but back in the 70s you had gays arrested, you had Harvey Milk murdered. Even today in my state you have morons thinking mass rape and molestation will happen in public high traffic bathrooms when they should be more worried about perps in their own families, friends and positions of power.

"At least we don't throw them off rooftops".

Chechen leaders are deifiers of Wahhab.

No gay women?

But if people started "rounding up" Muslims, these vermin would be among the first to shout "persecution!"

It's okay so long as it happens to other people...

[Isis]

Awful.

At least once a day, Adam’s captors attached metal clamps to his fingers and toes. One of the men then cranked a handle on a machine to which the clamps were linked with wires, and sent powerful electric shocks through his body. If he managed not to scream, others would join in, beating him with wooden sticks or metal rods.

As they tortured him, the men shouted verbal abuse at him for being gay, and demanded to know the names of other gay men he knew in Chechnya. “Sometimes they were trying to get information from me; other times they were just amusing themselves,” he said, speaking about the ordeal he underwent just a month ago with some difficulty.

Adam’s testimony, as well as that of another gay Chechen man with whom the Guardian spoke, backs up reports that a shocking anti-gay campaign is under way in the Russian republic of Chechnya, involving over a hundred and possibly several hundred men. Some are believed to have been killed.
