It can be charged as a "hate crime," depending on how the laws are written.
For example, Romel and Jose Sucuzhanay were two heterosexual brothers who were walking arm-in-arm late one night in...
That reminds me of a piece of "folk wisdom" about the Chicken Polygraph -- a farmer sprinkles soot on the feathers of a black chicken as a homemade lie-detector, to help find the thief who stole the...
У нас в английском языке такое выражение: "There's an elephant in the room" -- буквально, "В комнате есть слон". И это, пожалуй, сокращение полного выражения: The elephant in the room that everyone...
I'm afraid you didn't get the meaning of the original Russian proverb. "Кто про что, а вшивый про баню" as well as "У кого что болит, тот про то и говорит" means that whatever is the conversation or...
By the way, I would suggest that Gertrude's observation here is an excellent English parallel (not an exact translation, of course) for У кого что болит, тот о том и говорит.
It's one of the most...
Обыкновенными идиотами рождаются, а гомофобами дрессируются. Именно как в цирке дрессируют собак -- наказанием, вознагражденем, и повторением, год за годом.
And so forth: Punishment, reward,...

We have a rhyming proverb: "Different strokes for different folks", with the same metaphoric meaning.
In theory, this English proverb is not sexual at all -- it means the same as...

Ummm... what's the use of flinching? Every guy you shake hands with ... (Deleted....
Well, that's the sort of recipe I don't mind [s:inbj5f80]to follow[/s:inbj5f80] following at all! :)

Dr. Throbert's prescription for you, "Kenny": Watch more South Park!

Или, может, гомосексуалисты существуют в природе, чтобы помочь своим братьям и сестрам в воспитании своих племянников и племянниц.
Some evolutionary biologists have proposed the so-called Helpful...
By the way, I approach "gay rights" questions from a "libertarian" or "classical liberal" point-of-view -- which, in practice, makes me very "conservative"/"right-wing" in comparison with most...
It's not just Throbert... A lot of great people were gays... Tchaikovksy, Hans Christian Andersen, Somerset Maugham, Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, Elton John, and the list goes on. Oh yes, and...
Может, ответ находится в самом вопросе?
раздражающе нелепы и смешны?

Я взял из своих мозгов! Мне было скучно все время писать "как будет по-русски?", и вдруг вдохновение...
By the way, did anyone watch this video? I'm just curious to know from native speakers whether they have Ukrainian accents, and also, which of the guys (if any) "sound gay" in Russian. The only thing...

'embrace' is *not* translated this way in this context.[/quote]
Ah, thanks. Is there a Russian word that expresses a "metaphoric hug"?
Then can we agree that most of the Russians on this forum have an abnormal ability to speak English, since the majority of the population in Russia doesn't know English beyond the "сикс клакс -- сач...
What rights are meant, by the way? I really was never able to understand that. A right to marry? But why do they need "a stamp in the passport,", as we say in Russian? Just leave your property by a...
