Fire Guts Kyiv's Oldest Cinema During LGBT Film

http://www.rferl.org/media/video/ukraine-kyiv-cinema-fire/26666026.html

Kyiv's oldest movie theatre, the Zhovten cinema dating from 1931, was gutted by fire after an incendiary smoke bomb was thrown during a film shown as part of a series of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movies. Firefighters were cleaning the wreckage on October 30, following the attack the previous evening. No-one was injured. On October 27 a crowd had gathered outside the cinema to protest about a series of LGBT movies being screened as part of a film festival.

Eastern Orthodoxies are so anti gay they make the RCC look like the HRC.
