What was the vote count in the DUMA?
Loos like WSJ doesn’t let you read the full article — I got a referrel from Google, but here is a full article in the UK Telegraph, same topic:
Russia bans adoptions from countries that allow gay marriage
Decree aimed at ‘protecting children’s psyche’ from the ‘undesirable effects’ of exposure to unconventional sexual relationships
“
British citizens could be barred from adopting Russian children under a decree outlawing adoptions from countries with gay marriage signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
The decree, which is dated February 10 but was posted on the Russian government’s website on Thursday, is officially intended to “help improve the procedure for transferring children without parental care to families of Russian and foreign citizens, and to protect the rights and interests of these children.”
The amendments to the Russian adoption law that were signed by Mr Medvedev include a bar on adoptions by “those in a same-sex union recognized as a marriage and registered an accordance with the law of states in which such marriage is allowed, and also citizens of such states who are not married.”
The new wording of the law suggests that married heterosexual couples from countries that allow gay marriage will not be affected by the changes, though Russian media reported the law as a blanket ban. “
Good
The question is who is paying “conservatives” to sound like silly hysterical liberals?
What is antigay about protecting children?
Smart. Very smart decision. Nip it in the bud. Many orphanages are closing in America thanks to the Rainbow Mafia demands. Of course if an Obama gets elected in Russia, he’ll just ignore the law. You know...just to be on th e”right side of history”!
Good for Russia.
Expect the screeching from the demonic Left to be deafening.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he wants to do, I wouldn't vote for him, but by 2016 voting could be suspended by king obama anyway.
/S
At least one nation is sane.
The Russians have it right! We used to, but no more.
The Russians are doing the Morals that the US Just won’t do.
Putin is correct. It might also be sensible to keep native Russians in Russia, if the nation is to rebuild and not depopulate, just to have the native population replaced by those whacky minorities.
Waiting for Mitt Romney to weigh in on the unfairness of the new law toward same sex couples “in a loving relationship”...... /S
Good for them! Russia is striving for righteousness, at least on these issues, while the US is slouching toward Gomorrah.
Sounds about right.
Good.

Where can I learn to speak Russian?
When morality came back to the surface in Russia, it sure came back with a vengeance. It had been smoldering underground for seven decades. So don’t lose heart! Keep the faith! : )
