Last year gay-porn bigshot Michael Lucas turned documentarian with Undressing Israel: Gay Men In The Promised Land, which looked how great it is to be gay in Israel. Now he’s returning with Campaign of Hate: Russia and Gay Propaganda. Last November we reported on the film’s Kickstarter campaign, and now it’s headed for DVD in the US on April 1st. Ahead of that comes the trailer.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘As the Olympic torch burns bright in Sochi, Lucas returned to his native country with co-director Scott Stern to shine a light on the truth of LGBT men and women in Russia and their ever-increasing prosecution.
‘As most of the world moves forward toward gay equality, Russia is seemingly heading backward. Antigay sentiment and legislation are spreading rapidly throughout the country. The Kremlin has chosen the LGBT community as its scapegoat in a populist campaign against supposedly decadent “Western” values, and there are ominous signs of much worse to come. Violent attacks against Russian gays are more and more common. Videos of young LGBT people being taunted and tortured have been widely distributed on the Internet.’
