Gays are the Roma of the world

Gay activists tried to stage two demonstrations in Moscow on Sunday to demand the right to hold a gay pride parade in the Russian capital, but they were blocked first by Orthodox Christian opponents and then by police, who detained a total of about 40 people from both sides.

Gays (and women) are the least secure people in this world. In most countries, they can be attacked and killed with impunity. And it's the year 2012. When will things change?
