Episode #3: Homophobia in Russia and The Point of Pride

EILE Magazine Podcast

The Russian Government is quickly on its way to introducing a frightening law against so-called "homosexual propaganda," while President Vladimir Putin ironically claims that there is no discrimination at all in Russia. EILE Magazine's podcast hosts, Scott De Buitléir and Jenny Butler, discuss recent events affecting the LGBT community in Russia as well as Putin's attitude to LGBT issues on an international level. Also, with Pride festivals taking place around the world, Scott & Jenny talk about the meaning of Pride in light of recent attacks on LGBT people around the world, including Vancouver, Paris, New York, London and elsewhere. This episode was recorded on June 12, 2013 in Dublin, Ireland. Produced and edited by Scott De Buitléir. For more information, visit eile.ie.
