Historically the USSR and all Communist countries have been socially conservative and anti-homosexual (just like the moslems). Yet the same liberals who savage Putin are silent about those countries.
To put it differently, policy on gay marriage, etc. in the United States isn't impacted in the least by whether Ukraine or Russia endorse or oppose those issues. That is entirely up to us, and who we choose to elect.
Remember though, the Bolshevik movement was an atheistic feminist homosexual movement initially. Soviet men threw off all restraints and left their wives and families for Moscow Orgies. Russia collapsed economically within months and 12 million women and children became homeless overnight. Side note: Herbert Hoover literally saved Russia from famine when he brought US Grain and foodstuffs via railroad across Russia. It was only then, when faced with an existential crisis, that the Politburo outlawed homosexuality.
