"In Russia, when we talk about 'liberal' attitudes towards gays, it means they don't want us imprisoned or hanged."
- Slava Bortnik, Russian gay activist.
This comments were made by a delegate at the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights in Montreal last week, prior to the opening of the World Outgames on Friday. One of the results of the conference was The Declaration of Montreal, a new declaration for human and civil rights devised by delegates that will be presented to the UN.
Slowly, despite setbacks, the world is changing for the better.
