FRAME 1
Flashback of Decoy hugging a photo of Nikita Khrushchev, dressed in a Young Pioneer uniform. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Pioneer_organization_of_the_Soviet_Union
Decoy
As a kid, I had a big crush on Nikita Kruschev. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of admitting this to a homophobic friend. Next thing I knew, I ended up in the slammer at age fourteen because of his false accusations.
FRAME 2
Flashback of a frightened and huddled Decoy in prison clothes and with a shaved head. http://www.usp.com.au/fpss/prison-russia.html Four shadowy figures tower menacingly over him.
Decoy
Four gangsters and two prison guards dishonored me, every day, for five years,
as a punishment for my being queer.
FRAME 3
The Principal can no longer contain her pangs of revulsion over the idea that a fourteen-year-old child could exist in such conditions, as Decoy expresses his anger.
Decoy
Do you think I give a flying fuck about the morality of flirting with a teenage drag queen?
That was one of the peculiarities about prison life in the Soviet Union. People would get raped for being queer, but the people raping wouldn't be considered queer. I do know that a sociologist who studied those prison hierarchies, estimated that about 90% of men in Soviet prisons engaged in same sex activity. So, from my understanding, it was very difficult to tell whether the behavior was exploratory, punitive, or just a situational opportunity.
