Well of course I would dismiss it. Your opinion is absolutely stupid. You can ping me when the Russkies stop buggering their kids, hanging up communist flags and murdering people for minor political dissent.
The Nazis officially opposed homosexuality too, they sent countless to the camps, even though they shielded the deviants in their own party ranks. I don’t think anyone can argue that stance made them “moral”. Every dictator needs scapegoats to blame their failures on. That the Russians have picked immoral homosexuals as their scapegoat does not mean that this is based on some strong Christian moral stance. They’re just a target of political opportunity.
After all, they can’t use the Jews as scapegoats anymore, since most of them left when they got the chance, and the ones that stayed tend to be powerful allies of Putin. So, some other group had to be found, and the homos drew the short straw.
