I wrote on Ledyaev at Talk to Action back in September; here he is in full throttle after a Christian counter-protest against gay rights ended in anti-gay violence:
A double policemen cordon around the few mostly foreign homosexuals (at least two policemen per each gay) beating their ownin order to make a way for foreigners this was too much! In 2005, Ledyaev explained that:
Homosexuality is a...dangerous and contagious disease. The contagious should be isolated and treated. Otherwise, an epidemic will sweep through the entire community. Ledyaev has also made close links with Scott Lively and Ken Hutcherson, both of who have travelled to Latvia to spread word of the need to persecute homosexuals and to oppose "homosexualists" - a term equivalent to Phelps's "homosexual enablers". Sunday Adelaja, meanwhile, was blogged by me here. He and Ledyaev have been close allies for a while; I noted here Ledyaev's call for "Christian government" and Adelaja's response that this would be achieved in Ukraine through the "Just Ukraine" political party. Name variations: Alexey Ledyaev; Alexei Ledyaev
