> It was not "promoted in the Eastern bloc" Yes it was, the counterletter was posted on Russian forums a number of times, and it was regularly promoted in 4chan's /g/ too, where it was also drafted. There's probably still /g/ threads promoting the counterletter right now, as this is a cause celebre for 4chan. It's a 4chan-written letter promoted in the Russian-speaking internet. Russia has a well-documented state-sponsored homophobia and that attitude trickles down to many of her citizens in various ways.
