Mary Efremov: "there were
other gays in the family and family members can always tell but maybe not talk
about it....both uncles from father's and mother's side were gay, and
embarassing...his father coined a proper russian word for homosexual and tried
to introduce legislation to de-criminalize homosexual
behaviors....ravopolniy."
Jansy Mello: Like many others,
I feel uncomfortable with generalizations and broad categorizations -
and It seems to me that the term "gay" has been applied to lots of
different kinds of sexual choices, identities, feelings
and behaviors: how would "ravopolniy" be translated to the
English?
