Scumbag Reuters always has to throw in something about religious objection to sodomy. Notice the wording, "including many". The fact is most normal people, religious or not, are simply creeped out by turd pokers. Congratulations to the Russians for not being as susceptible to mass media manipulation and propaganda as the American sheeple seem to be.
“who regard homosexuality as a sin.”
It is a sin. Why have the ‘regard’ in there? Not one reputable Biblical scholar argues that the Bible permits sodomy. You can say that sins are all just mumbo jumbo if you are an atheist, but they are what they are. Typical Yahoo.
