“Community Support & Solidarity”

This segment features Gay Liberation Network member Bob Schwartz. First with a short fund-raiser pitch and then an introduction to guest speaker Russian gay activist Nikolai Alekseev. Nikolai created the web site www.gayrussia.ru/en/ & organized the first Russian pride parades. Despite the fact Russia decriminalized homosexuality a decade before the United States did, gay rights and human rights are still violently suppressed by opposing forces.
