In defense of Russia's law on homosexual propaganda
Renew America ^ | 24Aug13 | Bryan Fischer

Posted on 09/08/2013 8:28:46 PM PDT by ReformationFan

Russia, as the world is now aware, recently passed a law that prohibits homosexual propaganda that is targeted at teens. Russia does not want teenagers persuaded that manifestly unnatural and unhealthy behavior is perfectly normal. Good on them. And while sodomy has been legal in Russia since 1993, the new law makes it illegal among teens. Good on them.

There are legal sanctions for violating this law, which has raised the hackles of Olympic athletes who want to be out, proud and in your face everywhere, including during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia.

What should we make of this law? Even the pro-family community in the United States has been largely silent on this issue, perhaps stunned by the possibility that a formerly communist country could be ahead of the United States on matters of public morality. And perhaps nervous about actually approving public policy that implements at least part of the message we have been communicating for years.

Now since same-sex conduct has been legal in Russia since 1993, homosexual Olympians have been told quite explicitly that they have nothing to fear from Russian authorities for the private exercise of their sexual proclivities. They will be free to engage in all the abnormal sex they want – as long as they keep it in the bedroom and off the street.

This, we have always been told, is all homosexuals want – to be left alone and for the government to stay out of their bedrooms. Well, they'll have that in Russia. But that's not enough for them. Unless they can flaunt their non-normative sexuality in public, and force all of society not just to tolerate but endorse their behavior, they will not be satisfied.

History proves this true. Russia has taken a cautionary lesson from the West. If liberated homos had been content to respect the general heterosexual world’s norms of decency, there would never have been this kind of brouhaha over them. But they were not content... and on a spiritual level, it’s easy to see why. Fold a ritual of hate up with what is supposed to be a ritual of love and you will multiply the hate. Put bluntly: the homos are not content to bugger each other; they want to bugger society too. Society needs to answer such folly with a firm NO.

So, Sodomy is not illegal in Russia after all... it is PUBLICLY celebrating it and advocating it that is illegal?

Why am I finding myself supporting Russia’s policy rather than America’s?

That's because they hate themselves, and think that by forcibly co-opting the rest of society into their sick little charade they'll be able to assuage the guilt that's tearing most of them apart.

With or without regard to religion, IMO homosexuality is a sexual perversion. While I find it disgusting, I have no problem with adults partaking of it as long as they keep it out of my face. It is not normal and it is pervereted..... don’t preach it as such to our kids.

But today’s PC-nazis don’t like that opinion you’ve expressed. See post #6.

Just as the church once sold blessings to heaven for the guilty, nowadays our cultic society and government is providing blessings for the scandalous to social heaven.

Tempting the lack of scandalousness in abusive behavior in a county like Russia is asking to be nuked without a scandal of a thought to it.
