Putin rejects foreign adoptions by same-sex couples
BBC ^ | 26 April 2013 | Staff

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow should amend its adoption agreements with countries which have legalised gay marriage. Asked about the legalisation of same-sex marriage and adoption in France, he said other countries should respect Russia's "moral standards".

French President Francois Hollande is expected to sign the bill into law after it was passed by parliament.

It has emerged that Russia warned the Irish Republic last month that it could stop the adoption of Russian children by Irish parents if the parliament in Dublin endorsed the Magnitsky Act.

The act places sanctions on 18 Russians allegedly involved in the death of anti-corruption whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky in a Russian prison in 2009. Russia banned Americans from adopting Russian children soon after the US Congress passed the legislation in December.

MPs in several EU countries, including the Irish Republic, are considering following the American example.

At a meeting between lawmakers and Mr Putin in Moscow, Marina Orgeyeva, speaker of the regional assembly in Kaliningrad, suggested making changes to adoption agreements with France to ensure that Russian children were not adopted by same-sex parents.

"I consider it quite correct to make changes to the appropriate documents," Mr Putin replied.

"It is a current issue and we need to think about it. We respect our partners but ask them to respect Russia's cultural traditions and ethical, legal and moral standards."

Russia decriminalised homosexuality in 1993 and officially removed it from a list of psychiatric disorders in 1999.

However, demonstrations by gay rights activists have been banned and a bill outlawing "homosexual propaganda" is currently before parliament in Moscow.

In France itself, the same-sex bill has divided society. Opponents have held several mass demonstrations in Paris, some of which have seen protesters clashing with police…

According to that “logic”, one should have switched his allegiance to the Soviets during the cold war

Update: The Soviet Union was a marxist, atheist state. No one professed Christianity there

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. It no longer exists

"What's become standard and lawful in western societies is banned in Russia? Oh, the humanity!
Perhaps that one more reason to destroy Russia. Or not!
Sometimes, the enemy knows best"

Maybe you should take that little glimmer of awakening to realize that the communist globohomo racist empire is a bad thing. Hell, our own government hates us more than the Russians hate us. Make no mistake, our own government plans horrible things for us.

A bad choice in one area of one’s life doesn’t disqualify a leader from making a good choice at another time, even if there is some hypocrisy involved. Hell of a sin to morally hamstring the human race.

(Most guys and gals who date use a little bit of hypocrisy.)

I’m not a fan of Putin but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That little glimmer of awakening has been a whole life of awakened realization. There is absolutely nobody here on FR or even elsewhere that knows the realities of what's happening in the U.S. or in western countries, than me. Your attempt at diminishing my views just goes to show how your warped and limited thinking is. If you were to check out all my posts on FR, you'd likely notice that, I'm more conservative than most here. But, you just take a single post and twist it to making it a completely different take on me than what I'm about. That a dictatorship agrees with the prevalent way of thinking in western countries on one particular issue, does not make them acceptable on most other issues. That you take and twist a post to match your way of thinking, does not mean that you are correct in doing so.

Take things the way they are, and twisting things into what they are not, is just an indication that, you can't handle the real world or others' views.

Communist globohomo? Really??? That's the same kind of language that schoolyard bullies use. Try to be an adult. Whatever you think or whatever points you're trying to make, should be made without the radical rhetoric.

Adorno, please enlighten us about the font of your wisdom, oh great and mighty Oz! Are you the lightbringer? Are you the second coming of Obama? It doesn't matter that the little Marxist puke is still alive, I am certain that you are the one!

Shortbus Marxist has a very high opinion of himself. Totally earned I am certain.

You do know the Bush Crime Family, since its inception, has made an art form out of being globalist communists all the while claiming to be more conservative that patriots. You are in very sh!tty company.

Sorry for the double reply but there was so much stupidity and gaslighting in your post than could be highlighted in just one response. You are just another Zeeper attempting to cloak himself as a patriot while advocation for the Forever War and the globohomo communist empire.

No one is talking about moral superiority just stating fact.

If you are not allowed to accurately describe your enemy how can you fight them? That is the reason globohomo communists always scream to the mods about civility and advocate for censorship. Corral our words and you coral our resistance to tyranny. If you defend globohomo communism and its spread by the Forever War then you are a globohomo communist.

Are you into gay porn Adorno? I only ask because of all the other odious and execrable garbage that you openly support.

Bwahahahahahaha! These foreign zeepers are the masters of hilarious, preposterous, chest-thumping comments.

As Rush Limbaugh (R.I.P.) used to say, they don’t know that they’re the entertainment.

(He also abuses and misuses the Oxford comma.)

When Adorno won the last pretend war he fought in, they awarded him a large bag of commas rather than a chest full of medals.

Chickensoup, you will find a lot of the boosters of the Forever War defending homosexuality and perversion because that is what the Marxist leading the Forever War are using as part of the destabilizing phase of their evil coup here at home and abroad.

I wish this guy would drop a few receipts to back up his bragging.

I had no idea Yoda posted here. May his farce be with him.

Are you into gay porn Adorno?

No, and I won't engage in discussing what is likely your personal favorite subject. People who talk about certain subjects, are likely very obsessed with them, and likely practitioners of that which they want to talk about.

I only ask because of all the other odious and execrable garbage that you openly support.

Bull!

Only those with the obsession want others to engage in discussing the subject, and to hopefully enlist or discover others that enjoy the 'odious' subject. The "odious" word is an attempt to pretend that, you're not into it.

When it comes to execrable garbage, nothing is more detestable than that which you engage in, whether it's a detestable practice such as gay porn, or dumb posts about world affairs.

Do you also visit gay bars to find future partners?

Having adoorknob on the thread is akin to having a loud, recalcitrant pre-adolescent in the room.
