	As far as I'm aware, nothing in LJ's rules says that "gay" = "automatic 18+ material". Doesn't mean that SUP can't change it to that in the future, but I'm not seeing what relevance anti-gayness has to the content flagging feature. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think the reason it was brought up was because of the fandom_related_purge that was entirely directed at slash fic earlier - get rid of teh_ghey to impress the Russian? Me, I have no idea. As I say, I know nothing about sexual politics in Russia. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ahhh, right. Hmmmm, though if there was a connection, I'd think that either 1) 6A would have continued with the purging in order to court SUP, or 2) 6A would have simply gathered a list of gay journals/communities and let SUP lower the axe. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, I can't say anything about their gay issues, but I know that that part of the world is a major supplier of child porn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The more and more people talk about this, the more it seems like "SixApart sold LiveJournal to ~~a perfectly respecatble business in~~ Russian mafia leaders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	All major companies in Russia are run by the mafia. Didn't you know that? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I had suspected, but I thought there would be one or two little vodka empires that hadn't tied in yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Aww, I thought that was Italy! Y'know, except for the organ grinders with the little monkeys. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wouldn't be the first time that organized crime has actually been more organized and effective than the nominal government... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It's not a gay friendly country. During the elections just now a dozen or so gays and lesbians were arrested in Moscow when they were trying to vote. The first gay pride parade last year was a mess, and I think it might've been banned altogether this year. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	During the elections just now a dozen or so gays and lesbians were arrested in Moscow when they were trying to vote. I hate to break it to you, but I think that happened to quite a few non-gay people as well. Were they specifically targeting gay people, as opposed to possibly-not-voting-for-Putin-people?

	Hasn't the US government done the exact same thing, though? Not to just gays, but to pretty much every group they don't like? (Reply to this)(Parent)
