(USA) - In recent months, as energetic Russian-speaking "Russian Baptists" and Pentecostals in these states have organized to bring thousands to anti-Gay protests, Gay rights activists in Sacramento have picketed Slavic anti-Gay churches, requested more police patrols in Gay neighborhoods and distributed information cards warning Gays and Lesbians about the hostile Slavic evangelicals who they say have roughed up participants at Gay pride events. Singh's death was the realization of their worst fears. "After a couple years of fundamentalist and Slavic Christian virulent anti-Gay protests at almost every Sacramento Gay event in the region," said local Gay rights activist Michael Gorman, "what the Gay community has feared for some time has finally happened."
