been out for a long time. i don't think anybody can question me on where i throw my support and what i challenge on conversations about equality. whether it's reform, women's pay or lgbt equality. reaction has been interesting, but this is a great opportunity to showcase that i am no different from the other lgbt how many ans. gay rights or human rights. i go with my husband to prove that. >> give us a sense of the backdrop that we are talking about in russia here. >> this is a tough environment. i'm wondering whether or not you and patrick have fears and concerns about the russian police, the bullying and the violent tactics they used about gays. >> i have given this a lot of critical thinking and patrick and i discussed this.
