Swedish Homophobes Attack Gay Art
 
 


Those Swedish nationalists sure do love anti-gay destruction. An unnamed group of hooligans took it upon themselves to destroy artist Andres Serrano's photography show at Sweden's Kulturen Gallery. Not satisfied with simply shattering Serrano's vision – which they call "degenerate" – these punks taped the havoc. NY Times elaborates:
By the time the masked men had finished, half the show — seven 50-by-60-inch photographs, worth some $200,000 over all — had been destroyed. The men left behind leaflets reading, “Against decadence and for a healthier culture.” The fliers listed no name or organization.

“I was shocked and horrified,” Mr. Serrano said…

See? This is what happens when so-called activists become art critics.

[PS: Note scary death metal soundtrack. How infantile and trite.]

Running around in masks.. I hope the art is restored and reopened and someone waiting with a shotgun when the homophobes return.

So, YouTube can host videos of crimes that are used as propaganda encouraging more crime? Interesting.

Homophobes come in different races.
These are white homophobes in action.
If it had been Arab homophobes in action, you would have seen, that they go after people before art. Here it was art before people.
What these 4 vandals have done should coast them the value of what they have destroyed plus some time in jail. What the Arabs have done against homosexuals should be dealt with by all of the civilised world by the use of energy from the uran isotope u235.
