Take a look at actual
UN declaration of human rights and try to find anything about gay parades here. Basic human rights were declared at 1948. Gay parades started decades later. They have nothing to do with human rights.
The "you are violating human rights, you backwards scum" attitude will get you nowhere.
If you really want to help russian gay teens — which I doubt, as you seems too busy to pile on Russia instead — you should collaborate with Russians on preventing gay teens bullying. As I said, the law against bullying is already there. You could campaign for the age of application going down from 16 to 14. You can gather facts of gay teens being bullied into suicide and bring it to public, but also to judges, because the law against bullying is there already. If you really want to DO SOMETHING, this is what you should do. But the way most of you act, it seems, like you are more interested in showing off (I don't mean this thread, but patches idea) and piling on Russia.
