Milo Yiannopoulos brings us this disturbing tidbit:
A gay man from Chechnya, Russia has spoken out, providing some troubling details related to the the majority-Muslim province's effort to eliminate the LGBTQ community entirely.
According to Metro.co.uk's Charles White, many gay men living in Chechnya fear the government will "eliminate" them by the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The government is reportedly hoarding[sic] the gay men into "concentration camps" where some may have been killed.
According to Breitbart, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) spoke with several gay victims of oppression who have managed to escape Chechnya. What they've revealed is that not only are gay men in the region afraid of persecution from authority.
They're also scared of "honor killings" by family members looking to punish them for shaming their family name. This fear follows the individuals even after they've left Chechnya, where the bulk of the atrocities appears to be occurring.
"If any of my relatives realize I'm gay, they won't hesitate a minute before killing me," said one 28-year-old victim according to the outlet. "And if they don't do it, they will get killed themselves for failing to uphold the family honor."

I know it's not our usual fare but some things just need brought out in the open; see what Iran is up to.

Muslims, Christians, and Jews all follow broken combination religions and political systems that worship a cruel war god as the head of state. One of the laws of that religion is that homosexuals and crossdressers must absolutely be put to death, no exceptions. Fortunately, they all hate each other since at the core of those religions is the idea that any change in the religion is perversion to be met with violence and death.
(Though I paint with a wide brush. There are some followers of Jesus, who may have been a buddha, on this site, so sorry the terminology is confusing. I'd rather not get caught up in trying to find a true Scotsman. The vast majority of Christians do not follow Jesus but the war god Yahweh who some call Allah. They've got one thing right: you can't serve two masters. In fact, in the brand of Christian Identity [wikipedia.org] I've had personal experience with, Jesus is a warlord not unlike Mohammed who will slaughter the infidels and make the seas run red, just as soon as he gets around to returning to lead the army of the apocalypse in glorious jihad. The buddha theory seems to fit the facts better than the warlord theory, but hey.)
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Chick-Fil-A to have a change of heart soon. So while it would seem to behoove one to go easy on Christians for a while if they're going to pretend they're better than Muslims by suddenly putting on airs of homosexual acceptance, never forget that they know nothing but treachery in the depths of their souls.
