MOSCOW, - The ruling party of Russia has unveiled a "heterosexual flag" designed to represent "a real family" and "traditional values" in response to same-sex marriage.
United Russia, the party of President Vladimir Putin, introduced Moscow residents to the "heterosexual flag," which depicts the silhouettes of a man, a woman and three children along with a Russian hashtag that translates to, "A Real Family."
In stark contrast to the rainbow flag used to represent lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender pride and rights movements, the United Russia straight flag bears only two colors, but is available in a number of different schemes .
The party said the flag's release was timed to coincide with the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, an annual Russian celebration that was marked in the country Wednesday.
Andrei Lisovenko, deputy head of the United Russia branch in Moscow, said the flag was inspired by the U.S. Supreme Court's June 26 decision to strike down the country's remaining bans on same-sex marriage.
"This is our response to same-sex marriage, to this mockery of the concept of the family. We have to warn against gay fever at home and support traditional values in our country," Lisovenko told newspaper Izvestia.
Satirical Twitter account RIP Novosti pointed out the flag bears a striking similarity to a banner for La Manif Pour Tous, a French group opposing same-sex marriage. The Russian version has one more child and different text than the French flag, but the silhouettes appear identical.
Your feelings about the evil murdering monster of Russia, are so wrong, and are an embrace of a KGB monster.
You want to add a bunch to what I said or what?
This is not about Russia it is about the abomination of sodomy which the U.S. government has embraced and Russia does not embrace.
Who is right and who is wrong according to the word of God if you believe in it and if you don`t then we have nothing to discuss so sorry I even made the comment to you.
Make up your mind, when you speak of Putin and his Russia, people think that you are talking about him.
Your feelings about the evil murdering monster of Russia, are so wrong, and are an embrace of a KGB monster and a corrupt, oppressive, even anti-Christian, government church, not of a good Christian and a moral people.
That is your personal choice, and it has nothing to do with who is in office in America.
oppressive, even anti-Christian, government church, not of a good Christian and a moral people.
LOL, you think that the state church of Russia and the Soviet Union and of the KGB boss Putin, oppressing Protestant and Catholic Christians in his evil nation, is the sign of a good christian church?

Any one basing their agreements or disagreements based on the country or denomination it came from simply are not to be taken serious.
I wasn't knocking Putin for being anti-gay, but for the fact that it is just propaganda to him, the man is an evil dictator who has looted Russia for billions and billions, he is not what most of us would think is a Christian.
You are praising our enemy, and an evil KGB man, who is a brutal murderer, and oppressor of Christians, and who uses his government church to oppress Christians.
And that denomination of the horrors of Russia, is driving out other denominations who are trying to actually Christianize Russia.

What does not true mean?
I wasn’t knocking Putin for being anti-gay, but for the fact that it is just propaganda to him,>>>>>>>>>
And you know exactly what he thinks? how do you know he really don`t want sodomy in his country?
A leader, whether a dictator or a moron the people votes in
will have their opinion on issues, how do you know that is not his real opinion?
And that denomination of the horrors of Russia, is driving out other denominations who are trying to actually Christianize Russia.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Do you mean Christianize like what is happening here in the U.S? where half of the Churches are holding councils to decide whether to accept sodomy or not?
Any Church that has to decide on accepting sodomy is not a Christian Church.
Putin may be wrong about absolutely every thing else but he is right about that, read your Bible.
That is incredibly high praise for an evil murdering, KGB man.
In the future, perhaps you should not get on threads about our enemy, and an evil nation, to conduct your attacks on Americans, that way, you would appear more honest about your claim that you are not putting Russia and Putin over America.
Ok, why don`t you just grab your rainbow flag and go on the march for America.
Praising Putin and Russia is not the way to defend America from liberalism.

Since I am one of the strongest again gay marriage here, that is hardly the issue.
Your defense of the enemy as we are having to move troops into defensive locations against his threats, is troubling though.
Putin is a monster, and this flag business is a propaganda play, it is related to Putin’s power and control to increase his threat against us, in regards to military issues and advancing in Europe and Ukraine.
There was never a time in the last hundred years or so, when Russia wasn’t propagandizing to win support from gullible Americans.
Your defense of the enemy as we are having to move troops into defensive locations against his threats, is troubling though.
You come out telling how bad Russia is as if no one else knew it.
The only response needed is if you agree with Putin on same sex marriage or not as that was the issue, and I happen to agree.
Why don`t you just admit the truth and confess that you are so deathly afraid of your Government that you are not about to rock the boat which is what I might be doing for my own destiny.
