When I read some of the comments on the story I weep for our country. The fact that Americans are writing they wish this KGB Dictator was our President is simply scary.
We have slipped so far in our desire for real leadership, this monster looks good to us.
I am not disagreeing with his stance on this single issue—I am just sorry that the leaders in this country would cut their arms off before taking a stand—a definitive stand—on any issue.
Good on you mr KGB.
He would be a better American than our current POSOTUS.
(Though who knows what Mr KGB is really thinking)
Russia is demographically imploding, they can’t afford to pander like us.
Sadly, I don’t know how successful their pro-family policies have been in countering the immense social problems they have.
He is only codifying or ramping up a long standing Russian law that Russian children not be adopted by homosexuals
American homosexuals with Russian adopted kids lied through their homestudies to get them, passing as “single” adopters
China banned homosexual adoptions a decade ago and stopped all or most adoptions by singles to avoid being lied to
Seems all the real men live in Russia.
Shame on us.
Will it make any difference to the debate in this country that homosexuals adopting is more likely to produce homosexual outcome in the adoptees? It blows the “born that way” paradigm out of the water.
For all of Putins faults, I can’t disagree with him on this one
This is the one and only time I will agree with this communist.
Our nation is in deep trouble when we agree with a communist. God help us all.
Biology Thumper!
He's a HOMOPHONE.../s
Sanity is apparently still existent in Russia. I guess Vlad, for all his faults, actually cares about Russian kids.
Putin and Russia are at least demonstrating sanity and genuinely protecting kids! Who can blame him, keeping children away from the cesspool of homo-America, as our country continues its moral and cultural descent into degeneracy.

Putinism is a project of gradual restoration of the Soviet Communist system while of course, absorbing the lessons that lead to its defeat in the Cold War. We don’t yet know what the restored system will be in the economic terms. We don’t know to what extent the freedoms of speech and assembly will be reduced in the restored system either. One likely outcome is that the Russian Federation will break up into smaller ethnic enclaves, repeating the collapse of the Soviet Union 22 years earlier.
One of the cornerstones of Putinism is portrayal of the Western system as culturally irreparably liberal. Putinism positions itself as the only force in Russia unwilling to go with communists of the past, while at the same time rejecting the moral corruption of the West. So long as Putin is seen in Russia as a guarantor of conservative values, his popularity in Russia will remain quite high.
This gesture, in itself wholly salutary, should be seen in this context.
Outstanding. I wish our government would show some of the same intestinal fortitude.
Pray that Christians don’t have to ask for asylum in Russia.
Russians today are taught English at an early age. If they want to be gay, practically the ENTIRE Western World will welcome them and probably give them asylum. They have MANY options other than tearing Russia apart.
