Russia Says It Will Arrest Openly Gay Tourists
T + E ^ | 10 July 2013 | Amanda Lee

Posted on 07/11/2013 1:50:03 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Russian president Vladimir Putin has passed a draconian law that calls for the arrest of anyone who is openly gay or supportive of gay rights.

Thinking of taking a vacation to Europe this summer? If a trip to iconic city of Moscow or the edgier St. Petersburg is on your bucket list, an anti-gay law recently passed in Russia may have you thinking again. It is now outlawed to be ‘out and proud.’

In a throwback to the country’s authoritarian ruling, Russian president Vladimir Putin has signed a controversial law that punishes people for “homosexual propaganda.” The law fines people—including tourists—up to 200,000 rubles ($6,240 CDN) for “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations.”

Would Zero would be arrested if he brings Reggie with him to Moscow?

Not if they bring Michelle and Reggie's mom, as they did on the African Gay Marriage Promotion Tour. That way it wouldn't be a queer thing, just a boys' play date.

Valerie Jarret could explain that to Putin, I'm sure. Besides, "homosexual" means something a bit different in the dear olde Rodina. In Russia, queer is defined as, "prefering the company of women to drinking vodka."

I think Russian obsession with vodka is greatly exaggerated. It is not such an issue today as it was just a decade ago.

>>Gays don’t usually reproduce.

Nope. And in what’s left of this Republic, the Useful Idiots have empowered homosexuals to redistribute the reproductive re$ource$ of others to finance their abomination of nature and “fertility treatments”.

“And because of this, God gave them over...”

When your views are associated with those held by an autocrat running a police state in Russia, and a lunatic dictator in Zimbabwe, it’s pretty embarassing and doesn’t exactly inspire people in this country to emulate them.

Open homosexuality was illegal and punished by imprisonment in the Soviet Union and Maoist China. Fidel Castro tried to round up and quarantine homosexuals with the pretext of preventing the spread of HIV.

What's ironic about all this is that homosexual activists and their left wing allies shrieked to no end about "homophobia" in the US, but you'd never hear them say a word against much harsher anti-homosexual laws in Communist countries. They could have their "gay pride" rallies in the US - I'd like to see them try the same in Brezhnev's Russia, Mao's China, or Castro's Cuba. Yet the US was enemy number one, not Brezhnev, Mao, or Castro. "No enemies on the Left..." was and remains the rule.

During the Lenin/Trotsky rule, the natural family was all but destroyed, abortion made easy to obtain, and gender-bending ‘gay’ equality forced on the culture. With the family all but destroyed along with the work ethic in a sexually promiscuous culture, the economy tanked. Upon Lenin’s death, Stalin seized control, exiled Trotsky and in a desperate bid to revitalize the family and economy, quickly moved to criminalize sodomy, pederasty, pedophilia, lesbianism, etc. Stalin was a mass-murderer, but at least he did something good even if for self-serving reasons.

Lenin and Trotsky also experimented with "progressive" education, the very sort that is being implemented in our school systems today. The net result of Communist education (no curriculum, grades based on "creativity and participation," rather than merit, no ranking or authority over children) was a generation of illiterates, just as we have.

Post-Lenin Soviet leaders realized that "progressive" education wouldn't produce the engineers and other technical experts they needed to fight the cold war, so they reintroduced a rigorous, competitive, and merit-based system of education (similar to what they had in Continental Europe before the "New Left" took it over).

It seems that the US is experimenting with Leftists models that even the Soviets recognized as abject failures and had the sense to discard.

Don’t think I could ever trust former KGB. Especially Putin.

Did you trust George H. W. Bush? (former head of CIA)

he's talking about sodomy; they're not the same thing; it's all oral and anal sex, including that between men and women, as well as men only...other than a microscopic number of extreme prudes pretty much everyone in the country has no problem with male/female oral sex these days, citing [sodomy] laws... isn't much of an argument.

It isn't extreme prudishness to recognize that oral sex, where virtually no one in the country wears protection, can spread syphilis, gonorrhea, genital herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, human papilloma virus and HIV, unless both partners have been only with one another since virginity, i.e. traditional marriage.

Putin is reflecting the values of the people. It is indeed interesting to think that Russia is now morally superior to America, but there you go. The Russians are slowly shaking off the shackles of communism

I wouldn't be too sure of that yet. Unless they have a constitution that places God and Natural Law above the state, as we used to have, all this could change with the political winds. To quote Ronald Reagan, "trust, but verify."

Lesson would be that you reproduce when you live in a Commie Nation. And when you overthrow the commiies, you stop having babies.

Not at all. You reproduce when you live in a commie nation because the State has killed so many of your countrymen and women in its quest for power that they need to indoctrinate a fresh class of children to keep them in power; so they encourage or even mandate reproduction, as Ceausescu did in Romania.

Then, when the Statist agenda inevitably fails in the third generation, there aren't enough jobs, economic strength and resources left to support a healthy birth rate.

Sounds crazy but I actually would prefer Putin over Obama. Certainly couldn’t be any worse.


Same here. Putin would be much better than Obama.

The laws of nature are mercilessly just, but social constructs are always in flux and the weaker the "society", the more in flux and subject to propaganda and manipulation that society is.

Increasing acceptance of homosexual "marriage" is a good, contemporary example. Through a hi-tech version of the Alinsky "Diamond Tactic", with the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms providing multiple facets of the diamond, Americans look in every direction and wonder if they are being left behind by (what looks like) the rest of America. That is, they wonder if they are indeed "on the wrong side of history".

There's a reason kids today still use phrases like, "That's so gay," as a deragatory comment. Kids understand naturally - - instinctively - - that there is just something sick about a man pushing his penis into another man's anus full of sh**. It's one of those things nobody needs to teach, and it is why homosexuals instinctively feel ashamed of what they are and what they do, and why they suffer the tears of a clown even as they march with fake smiles in fake "pride" parades.

It's like the communist Democrats thinking they can create what Austrian economists called "the socialist man". It cannot be done because it is simply antithetical to human nature. It's the same with homosexuality - - it will always give normal people the creeps, just as it has for thousands of years, and there's nothing the liberals can do about it.

The KGB and its ancillaries successfully infiltrated and directed America's State Department and, more importantly, its "mainstream" newsrooms. The process took literally 70+ years, but the fruits of those efforts are evident. America has now elected and re-elected an African communist as its leader, and cultural decline aimed at destroying the traditional family unit looks like an unstoppable freight train. Depravity, perversion, and selfishness is slapping us in the back of the head no matter what direction we turn. Russia is not about to let its own tactics destroy it, too. The people at the top over there must be laughing their asses off in astonishment that the plan of their predecessors worked. It really worked.

FRegards,
LH

Traditional marriage no longer exists in the U.S. outside Mormon and Conservative Christian families.

Neither does knowledge of, and respect for, the U.S. Constitution. Is that a reason to promote their total destruction rather than their renewed application, now that we've seen the downside of trashing them?
