The anti gay bill is really an anti gay propaganda bill and designed to prohibit gays from targeting children.
The bill banning the "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" still needs to be passed by the appointed upper house and signed into law by President Vladimir Putin, but neither step is in doubt.
The measure is part of an effort to promote traditional Russian values instead of Western liberalism
It is a reasonable response taken by any sane government for the protection of their normal people.
Something you and Russian lawmakers have in common: ignorance and hate.
Pedophilia is a heterosexual thing, homosexuals have no interest in children.
And there is no gay propaganda, gays are not trying to covert anyone to homosexuality.
Americans are indeed fortunate, unlike Russia, we have a 14th Amendment to protect citizens from such ignorance and hate.
