Some people are really obstinate. Not only in Greece but in small communities. Thanks Malcolm for your valuable info. Case-news we hardly hear from our media.

@Sidney38SNJ I dunno, I had this greek friend, he says he renamed a jar of Vaseline "greece"

[ByzantineRuler]

fuck him, with a last name that has "oglu" at the end he is a gay turk dog, Greece is an Orthodox country, gays are not allowed in the Orthodox faith and not accepted by the Greeks there, he should leave and go to Germany or the US something where this is acceptable

@Sidney38SNJ Everyone keeps forgeting that greece spend 400 years of slavery under Ottoman rule.. We missed the Renaissance.. This took a major toll in many aspects on our modern society..

It's tragic, but true. But similar things happen in small villages (or small towns) in the UK, the US and all around the world.

I say , do blame greece cause its easily the most homophobic country in the EU and greeks in general are totally disrespectful and hateful towards the gay community here . This is strangely the only video where commentetors claim to 'not ' be homophobic and blame turks and latvians and others for being so.All the other youtube videos with gay issues about greece are full of macho greek airheads screaming " faggots" and " u should all day " and bullshit likethat

Well the specific bbc presenter always picks up negative things about Greece and prsesent them. He should go maybe to a small village in england and he will find out that the same phenomenan are taking place there. This is a global phenomenon and not only a greek problem as he wants to make it look like
