"He sucked dick in the shadows like a secret agent. Gay in San Francisco is one thing. That's not homosexual in the '80s Soviet Union, 1980s. Now that's— he sucked dick risking his life."
Ari Matti shared the story of his Estonian gay friend who grew up during the Soviet Union, describing the extreme danger and secrecy required to be homosexual under communist rule. He contrasted this with modern gay life in liberal cities like San Francisco, arguing his friend was genuinely heroic for living authentically despite life-threatening consequences.
