"A Russian TV anchor was fired almost immediately after coming out as a gay man during a broadcast last week.
"I'm gay, and I'm just the same person as you, my dear audience, as President Putin, as Prime Minister Medvedev and the deputies of our Duma," KontrTV anchor Anton Krasovsky said directly into the camera during last Friday's broadcast."*
TV anchor Anton Krasovsky or Russia's KontrTV came out as gay on air, despite the country's starkly anti-gay attitudes and government policies. He was quickly fired. What changed the Russian people's minds about gay rights, and why? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, and Brian Unger discuss.
