What gives us the right to force homosexuality on Russia? Who do we think we are that we can tell another large country that they must accept homosexuality as normal?
If the Russian people want to treat homosexuality as a perversion, what gives us the right to send a delegation of gays over to tell them they are wrong?
We cannot tell muslims that they are wrong, we cannot say Christian prayers at high school ball games, we cannot put a manger scene in front of a public building, we say nothing about the persecution of Christians in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
But we get all spun up about gaydom and think we can force Russia to change their polciies on gays.
WTF is going on? We have become a nation of hypocrites.
American exceptionalism.
Exactly, what gives us the right to make that claim? Yes, this country has accomplished great things, but are we more "exceptional" than everyone else in the world? I think not.
Success should not breed arrogance
We should not try to make the entire world think and act as we do.
Who are we to tell Russia that its views on homosexuality are wrong? What gives us the right to tell muslims that their religious teachings on homosexuality are wrong?
