They don’t have the ACLU there.
They are running a traditional business.
Private businesses can serve whom they wish... just like Facebook and PayPal.
They allow people to associate or not associate with others. We don’t.
Trump can be blamed for this, right?
Look like decent folk.

Typical Russian, dictating exactly as they please while running their own business.
He gets it.
It’s mostly rhetorical, because unless a person “flames” there isn’t any way to know that he or she is “that way.”
This isn’t the same situation as a baker making a cake for a same-sex wedding. This is blatant anti-gay discrimination. But in Russia he has that right.
This came into civil rights law in the USA in an attempt to undo the shameful legacy of Negro chattel slavery with people continuing to systematically shun Negros. Who knew the hijacking of the concept which would transpire.
This is so wonderful!! I love Russia so much . This country has gone to hell.
The old time American answer, pre civil rights era, would be along the lines of allowing “gays” to open their own bakeries to serve their own clientele.
I’d be looking at more things about Russia than just this. They get this, but at the price of an autocratic society overall. We can respect Russia, but never want to copy its government plan. If we ever wanted something like this in America, it would need to be a “We The People” grassroots change.
Why is it news when homosexuals are not welcome in a Russian bakery, but in muslim countries homosexuals are thrown off the tops of buildings and killed and it is just crickets?
Fakebook and Pigpal are defacto monopolies and are therefore no longer private businesses. Further - once they began to edit content, they became legally responsible for that content under current law. There need to be more lawsuits.
When someone walks in and asks for a loaf of bread, how do they know his sexual interests, unless he states them? Which is exactly what they don’t want to hear.
There is no “One Size Fits All” form of government, what works here doesn’t work there, and vice versa.
