it is perfectly legal to engage in sodomy in private in America

You mean among adults. It is perfectly legal to engage in sodomy in private in the RF as well.

Understand. Putin IS a thug. The gay propaganda to minors law is, however, a law passed by the parliament of the country rather than decreed by Putin. I happen to think it is a good law. It could be that it is applied in a thuggish way, like any other law in the RF, but that doesn't seem to be your point, does it?

No you're right, that is not my point unless a thuggish enforcement of an otherwise just and reasonable law is held up in support of the thug in power.

I believe Obama is more of a thug than Putin is.
