Russian rabble-rouser Nikolai Alexeyev will be the keynote speaker at Chicago's Matthew Shepard March this Saturday. Alexeyev's made international headlines for his tireless gay activism and the outing of prominent politico Alexander Chuev.

That stunt may earn Alexeyev slander charges.

Of Alexeyev's involvement, Gay Liberation Network's Andy Thayer says "[His work] demonstrates how rights have always been won, regardless of country."

Alexander Chuev makes you look butch. The Russian politico has asked the General Prosecutor to "investigate" Nicolas Alexeyev, the gay activist who recently outed Chuev.

Deeply offended by Alexeyev's actions, Chuev claims calling someone "gay" on television constitutes a crime. Which crime, however, remains to be seen. He wrote on his blog, “Let the investigators now to find out which crime there is in his actions”.

Gotta love that Russian sense of justice.

Gay activist Nicolas Alexeyev has some balls. The outspoken gay activist made waves yesterday when he outed homophobic MP Alexander Chuev (pictured, looking soulless).

Like many of his political peers, Chuev's not down with the gays. In fact, the MP once attempted to ban gay pride, calling the gathering "immoral".

Alexeyev appeared on Russian talk show K baryeru yesterday and claimed Chuev - who proposed legislation to ban "gay propaganda" - dabbled in dick, but went in the closet for political gain. Needless to say, Chuev wasn't happy about the turn of events and suggested he may sue Alexeyev.
