Gays In Russia

- Daniel talks with David Tuller about his book, "Cracks in the Iron Closet: Travels in Gay and Lesbian Russia" (Faber & Faber) which looks at the life of homosexuals in Russia. Tuller says although Russian society is more tolerant of homosexuals in some aspects, it is still far from embracing homosexual lifestyles. Gay bashing is still prevalent and police often turn a blind eye to crimes against homosexuals.
