Yurka, during Soviet times, gay rights had not evolved in the west to the extent that it has now. Even in the early 1990's, when the USSR collapsed, the majority of Americans were homophobic, although the tide was starting to turn. I mean, "Philadelphia" - a profound movie which marked a big turning point in the gay-rights movement - did not exist until 1993.

Today is a much different time in the west, just as it is a different time in your country.
