Russia wouldn’t have to do this if NATO wasn’t being so aggressively pro-gay 😤
Being gay in Russia needs balls of iron, far more than any western cowboy has.
One would have to live under rock to not expect anything bad happening when living life this way openly in Russia. Not that it’s justified what authorities do, it isn’t
Another reason why Republicans love Russia…
It’s an eastern orthodox mindset that crosses the borders in that area.
Some hate just transcends cultures.
Republicans don’t by default have anything against gays. Some do, but it’s far from most.
I’m sure it’s just a complete coincidence then that republicans fought against marriage equality and adoption for same sex couples.
Because they see ‘marriage’ as a christian description of matrimony between man and woman
And they are wrong because this is America, not a Christian theocracy.
I’m not a Christian. I’m Jewish and an atheist. My wife is also an atheist. We’re married. By your excuse for Republicans, we aren’t.
I don’t see how that makes sense, unless you’re also a woman. And even then, I really like ben shapiro’s approach of ‘it’s not the governments business to decide who gets to marry who’.
Because we did not get married based on any Christian tradition.
Neither does anyone else.
Marriage is a civil ceremony and America is a secular nation.
Ah, so you can exclude gays. And that means:
Republicans don’t by default have anything against gays.
Because hey, every time they do everything against gays there’s an excuse! There’s been loads and loads of excuses over the years, but hey, they really don’t have anything against gays!
Jeez, done critical thinking would be good.
And I see modern “Christians” as deplorable but that doesn’t mean I get to strip them of all their rights.
Yeah, so connect the dots bud
I was on their side when the debates around it reached their peak, but I don’t misunderstand homosexuality as unnatural or gays as mentally ill. In my mind it was about semantics, but I’ve since realized how that could be perceived as homophobic.
Character growth, good. For the future telling people they don’t get to have legal rights because of your book is discrimination and the problem.
Unless you were advocating for a legally equivalent alternative to marriage just with a different name for people who do not fit your incredibly narrow requirements for marriage, how exactly can you claim you weren’t trying to discriminate against people?

Haha, so they’re just complicit.
I’m sure you’re quick to chime in with “not all cops” too.
Then they should stop voting for the people that do.
USSRboy sounds like a nickname for someone who enjoys Sino-Soviet cooperation propaganda posters a little too much
All the more power to him though.
Denying HIV medication is such a malignant display. How does one convince themselves that this is the right course?
‘There are no gays in Russia’
Now we know why.
There are many gays in northern Siberia, though.
