It should be noted that this was apparently an "Uzbek-on-Uzbek" crime, which adds another dimension to it. Or, then again, maybe it's just the same "dimension" -- straight Russians are particularly offended by Russian gays, and straight Uzbeks are particularly offended by Uzbek gays, etc. (And before anyone protests, I DON'T MEAN TO COMPARE THE RUSSIAN "GAY PROPAGANDA" LAW WITH RAPE!!! I'm only comparing the "you're bringing shame upon our people" part.)
