I think the context of this is a gay man in Russia is surely explanation enough for why he was kicking the **** out of the guy - gay people in Russia are vilified, lured into traps to be beaten up and humiliated, murdered by militant homophobes - this blatantly camp guy was an easy target for abuse and the guy who mouthed off at him clearly wasn't expecting to get any response back and got a nasty surprise. I'm in the gay guy's corner, I don't think violence solves anything but at least it shut one bigot up for a little while and maybe made people in the area sit back and think about what they were seeing. I feel for LGBT people in Russia.
