Remember China when we launched the whole “free Tibet” coverage? And after
the Olympics everything is normal again. This is the same. Opportunistic
BS. And why not speak out about the “anti gay law” in Kansas for example?
the hypocrisy!
The homosexual propaganda campaign in American media as to stop
Go back to USA and tell ur government to bring law about guns than u r a
true hero but because its Russia than u can talk ???
Thats fucked up pussy
Russians, if you don’t like what happens in pride parades (i.e. men running
around in thongs, as I constantly hear from you), then ban people being out
in public in their underwear. Banning “gay propaganda” (a deliberately
obscure term) is purposefully discriminatory against an entire group of
people. Men, when you talk about your wife and children, is it
“heterosexual propaganda?” No? Well, then why, when asked about my
relationship status, if I reply honestly with the fact that I’m married to
another man, it is considered “homosexual propaganda?”
Russian opinion on what is shown on the boxes on the Internet.
With the advent of Putin, Russia has officially allowed to create a Gay
Club. Under the previous President Boris Yeltsin, in gay clubs came SWAT,
was beaten and deprived of gays in jail for 24 hours. I saw it! Regarding
the economy of Russia, you know nothing, for example I make around 3200 $
work in advertising – technical issues. 2500 $ is the average salary of a
Russian citizen. In principle we have in the country is, all except the
production of good cars of Russian production, but from what we do not need
it, i.e. we can buy a BMW, Mercedes, WV, Ford, Chevrolett,…. That gay,
gay we have a lot of them, for example, my boss is gay, and all know about
it, and they all belong to this is normal. Gay clubs in Moscow 7-8, gay
live as ordinary citizens, we are more educated and do not go as clowns or
parrots, one wanted to go in a skirt and makeup, he went underwent surgery,
now like a woman, and looks neat, beautiful and not poslov Russia there are
many artists-gay similar to boy George or Elton John, artists who are in
direct to the public may say that they are gay. Something you do not want
the Russians is that Gays had sex on the streets in front of the children
and the elderly, respect for others are very important in our country. I’ve
heard what happens in Kansas, where people with your mentality, and he has
the right to exist, they too are Americans and they deserve the right of
choice and understanding on your part, people should be different. What
about nationalism, Putin has created a law where nationalistic views is
punishment, in Russia, a lot of nationalities, Chechens, Дагистанец,Tajiks,
Kyrgyz, Ukrainians, Moldavians,Georgians,Armenians,Azerbaijanis, Africans.
Already like 7 years on the street will not meet the Nazis. What about
gays, from my side, I’ll be honest – I am tolerant and can talk for
friendship or for work, but poking each other member of this I don’t
understand, if someone poignet on my chocolate eyes, with this man I will
do sternly. Almost 70% of the Russians think the same way, and believe
themselves to be real men, in Russia this feature. Again about the Russian
economy – малка of Americans know that for example, the ordinary citizen of
Russia 12 years ago could not afford to buy an apartment, a nice car, or
just good (expensive) clothes, Putney made it all available in Russia who
works honestly you earn, who does not work that goes on rallies “Freedom
for Gay”although freedom of speech, freedom of movement around the country
and the world, freedom of choice orientation, religion, choice of
profession and type of activity. Putin has forbidden propaganda sex among
young with the consequence of which will give the term in prison, then
propoganda gay sex among children!!! WHAT IDIOT WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS
WRONG??? For pedophilia we put, I would be sentenced to the death penalty.
Our country and our President, loyal. Those Americans who knows anything
about Russia, who live only in the news from television,and movies which
teaches us wrong and false, and just have hatred,or hypocrites , don’t
waste your time. Write briefly: I don’t like this country and all. Many
thanks to the Americans who would understand – THANK you from my deep soul!
As a mexican/américan transsexual, i support thé US for protecting us thé
US:) Fuck you Russia!
Bunch of Nazis the Russians are.
Putin is a neo Nazi. Russia is going backward. No wonder that country is
not doing well politically and economically like it was when it belonged to
the USSR.
Now what’s left is too deport all immigrants from Russia and criminalized
all inter-ethnic marriages/relationships in Russia. That will be a next
important step towards creating a strong and healthy society.
I thought all kids thought their parents kissing was gross weather they are
straight or gay (rolls eye)
And we – all of us – know how some people handle a “problematic issue” dont
we? Whether its liberty or equal rights, for women for multi ethnic
societies, or homosexuals.
One solution seems to have been invented about a 100 years ago and
vigorusly put in action. And milions were butchered.
Perhaps it is time to realize that hatred is wrong and that hatred kills.
Anyone.
Hey Russia is a racist homophobic xenophobic country anyways. Look up
russian racism in soccer and you will understand. Half of the world’s neo
nazis are in Russia so its no surprise that they make this horrible laws
Nick Symmonds would not have said this unless he is GAY HIMSELF!
No you are not. But it’s usually held not on outskirts of the cities but in
very centre.
you don’t live in Russia, why do you care about this law? you should mind
your business and take a look at human right issues in USA!!
Wrong, Future is now. No insurmountable goal to reprogramming stem cell
into sperm or egg. Its been done in mice to produce same sex offspring. Our
ancestors deep in our evolutionary past were also hermaphrodites, so it is
to be expected possible from a biological perspective too.
I plan on it, you want an invite?
Being gay is not natural, I’m sure in all religions being gay is
prohibited… This means even god hates gays. I’m not really a big fan of
Russia and they’re law. But prohibiting gays
Then stay in your homo closet, marry your fags and be done with it.
Why the fuck is the West concerned about rights of people around the world.
USA is a fricking police state and they say nothing about that. Gaqy blood
is banned in USA for donation and they say nothing to that. Do you fuckers
want to reduce population in your country by allowing gay marriages and gay
adoption (where the child is likely to be gay as well)? Do it, we approve!
We Russians want our population to increase and don’t allow some sodomite
principals here. Start minding your own business
I understand people are getting beat up and its wrong. But why the double
standard? Few people are getting beat while the US murders innocents in all
its modern so called ‘wars’. I know this hurts your pride but compare to
the millions who die tragically by bombs, disease and rape in the name of
war profiteeing and preservation of the petro dollar? How many people have
tried boycotting the USA on many fronts but you only ignored? You were too
busy feeling superior to others.
Jews or gypsies have nothing to do with it, not even the slightest. We are
talking about fags, perversion and so on – the “discrimination” word for
gays doesn’t exist in any of the laws. The law is made by the people who
believe it’s wrong, so get back to your country and your laws of justice.
We not against homosexual behavior. We against to the homosexual behavior
was exposed on display.
You’re not even close. You’re saying here, one should try to be gay (if he
hadn’t tried yet). It’s like trying to fuck with a cat or a cow – it’s
disgusting. A functional self-respecting man has a dick with brilliant
balls injected with sperm made for plowing the juicy vagina. Has functional
eyes which he uses to stare at the amazing big tits or the attractive
female body. Functional hands which he uses to grope the female all day.
Nothing is more attractive and beautiful than the female body.
Thank GOD there are still so many sane Amricans!!! I wish you all the best
regaining your country from perverts that for dosens of years only try to
overweigh each other, rather than to handle the important issues. We are
friends of yours and don’t want conflicts, but your government behaves in
such way, that doesn’t leave us any other option than to show you as an
enemy, when you are just our competitor , partner and nothing more. Much
respect to all the Americans, that don’t see Russia as evil
You are correct, US is on a very bad path, but that is because of ignorance
and Reagonomics and fascist governments and miliatry industrial complex
spending and now NSA spying. It is funny, we are doing Stalin and Stazi for
the first time, and you are trying Reagonomics and fundamentalism. Both
will end very badly. Blaming on scapegoats like gays is just dumb though
and idiotic, even if 90% of Russian people.
You don’t go around saying that you are heterosexual, because normal people
don’t try to make everything be about sexuality or talk the loudest to make
everybody know that they are taking it in the ass. These fags have every
right to do as they please in privacy, but they won’t, because what they
want to do is show off in front of a large group of people because they
crave attention like the spoiled bitches they are.
Because I’m gay? And I do care about human rights issues in America, who
said I didn’t? And if I think a law in a different country is wrong then
why do YOU care? It’s just my opinion that this law is completely
ridiculous and many Russians are bigoted. Just like many Americans are.
There are idiots in every nation.
WTF is that supposed to mean? These are athletes not activists? Give me a
break. Your hate words speak droves, stupid breeder!
LMAO!!! you say that like its a bad thing.
Shame on Russia
Вы тупые…Не вам нас учить”ДЕМОКРАТЫ”хуевы.
What you are saying is very like the following: I’m glad I don’t like peas,
because if I did, I would have to eat peas. And peas are disgusting.
Slavery was not abolished in “ancient times”. It was abolished in the Age
of Revolutions. Largely because of support from the Church. Also you are
the anachronism, not “the gays”. You comparing them to paedophiles and
cannibals certainly makes that clear. Also we do know “what is wrong and
what is good”. The religious bullshit you are peddling is wrong and is not
good.
Have you not noticed that has God created diversity of all things including
human sexuality, there have been gays around since before the recording of
history because it is a natural part of human sexuality.
You’re wrong. The percentage of gay people is small fixed, in many culture
and thoughout human history. It is not “normal,” in the sense of Gaussian
distribution, but why would that be any standard for place everyone in the
middle of a distribution. Homosexual behavior exists in many animals also.
Humans are less sexually dimorphic than their ancestors, and as gays do not
(usually) breed, it just goes to show that gay genes are being selected for
by heterosexuals in their breeding.
What can one say the gay agenda is evil and determined to succeed.Nothing
can stop it anymore, your daughters and sons are largely going to be
homosexual when they are adults.I pray that God stops these arrogant
individuals soon.
No, you aren’t following. I never suggested that anyone would try to be
gay. What I am saying is that you find gay sex distasteful. That is because
you don’t like it/aren’t interested. This is fine. But you overreach by
saying that it is morally wrong and that other males to be “functional”
must be the same as you and also find it distasteful. This is not only
wrong, it is harmful.
The athlete sounds like a homo.
Both Reps and Dems ignore the issues! Look at what’s going on now! USA on
its own. Really, I;m observing Rome Vol 2! If you tak egays and heteros
separatley and then get the % of pervs in 2 groups, then i bet gays will
win. I dunno you are gay or not, but all I see from the is just lack of
respect to society whn doing what they do on the streets. Putin putin went
to get idiots’ support, then 90% of Russians are idiots and that is just
not true!
fags getting they buthurt. i thought fags like do randome things with they
buts.
How?
Wrong. In Navaho, gays were esteemed at considered gift from god. In
ancient Greece, very common. Some places in Papua New Gunea, practically
right of passage for nearly 100% of men, even those who eventually marry
and are not gay. Gay as just a natural as being born with red hairs these
days, and more common than that now.
