Russia Says It Will Arrest Openly Gay Tourists
T + E ^ | 10 July 2013 | Amanda Lee

Russian president Vladimir Putin has passed a draconian law that calls for the arrest of anyone who is openly gay or supportive of gay rights.

Thinking of taking a vacation to Europe this summer? If a trip to iconic city of Moscow or the edgier St. Petersburg is on your bucket list, an anti-gay law recently passed in Russia may have you thinking again. It is now outlawed to be ‘out and proud.’

In a throwback to the country’s authoritarian ruling, Russian president Vladimir Putin has signed a controversial law that punishes people for “homosexual propaganda.” The law fines people—including tourists—up to 200,000 rubles ($6,240 CDN) for “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations.”

“Obama is trying to appoint all gay ambassadors.”

Did he appoint one to Russia?

During the Lenin/Trotsky rule, the natural family was all but destroyed, abortion made easy to obtain, and gender-bending ‘gay’ equality forced on the culture. With the family all but destroyed along with the work ethic in a sexually promiscuous culture, the economy tanked. Upon Lenin’s death, Stalin seized control, exiled Trotsky and in a desperate bid to revitalize the family and economy, quickly moved to criminalize sodomy, pederasty, pedophilia, lesbianism, etc. Stalin was a mass-murderer, but at least he did something good even if for self-serving reasons.

Since the Iron Curtain fell, Russia has been trying to recover its’ sanity, health, family, etc. More than anyone, they know first-hand just how sick, twisted and diseased everything becomes in a gender-bending culture and want no more of it.

Sounds crazy but I actually would prefer Putin over Obama. Certainly couldn’t be any worse.

Memo to gay community!...The rest of the world may not agree with your asscracker agenda!
*******************
With our country trying to shove the homosexual agenda down the throats of those countries who don’t agree, it will cause those countries to be more attracted to Russia than the USA.

The homosexual agenda makes our country weak in many ways.

I don’t want to visit there, more and more I am thinking I would like to live there.

Russia seems to know how to deal with perverts.

Yes: Their answer is a little harsh, but what we are doing is not only the opposite, but we are destroying the basic value of family life for a batch of queers.

Communist Russia treated homosexuality as a crime as well.

Huh.. So even communist Russia had higher standards of decency than today's America. That's telling.

Putin claims the law doesn’t discriminate against LGBT people, but rather...is there to “protect children from pedophilia.”


That’s it. Gay male = pedophile. Even Putin gets something right once in a while.

So you think he was talking about castrating women?

Sometimes you can use the context to determine exactly what is being said.

Jefferson was talking about male homosexuals (gays), men who have abandoned natural relations with women to lust after their own kind, deserving castration.

Remember that you are on a conservative website. Degenerates will find no sympathy here.

Reminds me of the first Reagan-Gorbachev Moscow summit back in the early 80s when “ACT-UP” flew into Moscow for one of their infamous stomach churning, publicity generating “kiss-ins”. The thought of all those international news cameras must have given them goosebumps.

So here they were, in the middle of Moscow. They couldn’t get too close to the big events, so they found come public courtyard and set up there. It started out pretty much normally, they pranced around waving condoms and screeching their slogans until a few TV cameras and a bunch of curious Soviet citizens stopped to see what the commotion was about.

Alas, they should have researched local attitudes better because as soon as they started swapping spit, the Russian men in the crowd, and quite a few from the surrounding buildings, waded in and commenced to stomp the dog-crap out of them. Badly! With great enthusiasm.

CNN was carrying the demonstration live, so there was about half a minute of the beatdown before Atlanta cut the feed. I remember rushing out to get a tape for the Betamax (remember those?) just in case they showed it again, but they never did.

Sigh... it was beautiful while it lasted...
