Anti-gay activists cry ‘homo-fascism’ after news conference praising Russia is heckled

A Friday press conference organized by Dr. Scott Lively of Defend the Family International was interrupted by what members of the group called a “homo-fascist.”

Video of the exchange, which can be seen below, identifies the “Combatants” as the Coalition for Family Values and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), although the real combatants appear to be a Russian LGBT activist and Dr. Scott Lively, who the SPLC identifies as an anti-LGBT activist.

As the video begins, one of the speakers for Defend Family International, which was holding what it called a “Pro-Russian, Pro-Family” press conference, is interrupted by an activist speaking in Russian. Another activist repeats what is held on a pink sign in the background, “Stop killing us.”

A representative for the Southern Poverty Law Center told Raw Story that, given Dr. Lively’s support of the criminalization of LGBT expression in Russia, his claim that this protestor is “killing speech” makes Dr. Lively “a screaming hypocrite.”
