Russian courts have affirmed the decision of the Moscow municipal government to ban gay pride parades for the next 100 years. Something tells me that like the 1,000 Year Reich proclaimed by the Nazis and the New Scientific Man unveiled by the Soviets, this 100 year ban will crumble well before its stated expiration date.
According to the AP coverage:
Gays serve openly in Israel’s military. The parliament and Supreme Court have granted gays a variety of family rights, such as inheritance and survivor’s benefits.
Earlier this year, Tel Aviv was picked by readers of the travel website Gaycities as the top gay destination, ahead of Amsterdam and San Francisco.
So, which country do the UN and the leftist intelligentsia repeatedly condemn as a violator of human rights?

Oh, Jay. You’re so naive. Everyone knows Israel is only tolerating gay pride parades to identify all the gay people so it can start hunting them down as soon as a Republican president is elected. Meanwhile, Russia has made an amazing 90% reduction in the key metric “reich years failing to occur,” but will you give them any credit for it?
Excellent points. Even the WSJ noted the improvements in dictator technology: “What, Me a Dictator?
Forget clumsy commissars and caudillos. Savvy strongmen now invoke democracy and intimidate quietly”

Thanks to these and other improvements, dictator technology can now be deployed more efficiently for the good of all! So let’s give our Russian friends some credit, eh?
