Russia’s controversial policy against homosexuality continues to make headlines.

Gay reporter James Kirchick was slated to appear on the country’s English-speaking news program ‘Russia Today’ (which is run by the Kremlin) to talk about Bradley Manning’s sentence, but instead turned into a forum to criticize Russia’s anti-gay laws.

Take a look for yourself and decide: Is Kirchick a hero or was he out of line?
