13 March 2015 Ikea Closes Website In Russia Over 'Gay Propaganda' Fears
Ikea is to close down an online magazine in Russia over fears it could flout the country's law banning the promotion of gay values to minors.
In a statement, the furniture giant said some articles in Ikea Family Live could be viewed in Russia as gay "propaganda".
The controversial law was approved by President Vladimir Putin in 2013, drawing criticism from rights groups.
They say it has been used to ban gay rights events, a claim Russia denies.
'Ikea values' In the statement (in Russian), Ikea said: "When we do business, we observe the legislation of the countries where we work, therefore to avoid violations, we have taken the decision to stop publishing the magazine in Russia."
It said the magazine - which is published in 25 countries - "shows different aspects of people's lives at home, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality and religion".

Good riddance to Swedish sodomy propaganda
Most of the Ikea furniture I’ve slapped together had “male” and “female” parts. I doubt it would have gone together as well if I had to rub the pegs together....
Get transgender surgery (govt. sponsored) obamacare.
Ikea’s products suck anyways.
You uhhh have to turn the board over and use the hole in the back side...
it’ll look disgusting, likely impossible to look at..
But that is how it’s done.
Wish they had been around back in my college days, would have saved me from the horrors of the modern day equivalence of dumpster diver for furniture. Just say’n
What exactly are “gay values”?
I know what they are. Anonymous sex with whoever, whenever, wherever you want, and terrorizing anyone who won’t say how right and wonderful this is.
I had this gay liberal tell me all corporations are now pro gay and we were losing.
I told him that it is funny that same corps like Apple do business with Saudis who behead gays, and that this proves corporations are after money, his money, and not for gays, period
Absolutely agree!
“....the country’s law banning the promotion of gay values to minors.”
.
One of the few positive assets of Russia.
True, but they don’t last very long. If it’s for a temporary solution then Ikea products can be okay.
Gay values are anything about fantasy, fiction and ideology, so as to overwhelm the voice of reason, truth and history/Bible.
Thus we have common core which is versed in gay ideology with “imaginative” math rewarded while accuracy of text books and science takes second place.
We have Islam as a favored religion of theirs because Islam is ideological and not so “serious” (except in exacting punishment against anyone not following their absurdities).
Irony is we have homosexuality in this, which is not so much contrary to Islam but as seen by Islam, like woman, as a sort of harlot of imaginations to be jealous of in this world of pseudo-gurus.
The aim is to protect government corruption by diluting truth in dividing people from it in this satanic like sauce of imaginations overwhelming it with various voices of various genders getting their fake show trial audiences in the media while the real important family issue is neglectes
Ikea has an “online magazine”?
You read my mind.
For me they would have to last only four years, then passed along to another furniture poor student.
Great response. Somehow, I doubt he liked it.
