The head of the Russian Pensioners' Party has come up with an initiative to change the Constitution and define marriage as only being between a man and a woman. Igor Zotov, who is also a Lower House MP has explained his move by his assertion that Russia's traditional values are under threat from the latest modern tendencies.
"I got this idea from members of the Pensioners' Party. These people are extremely concerned over the processes that are currently taking place all over the world, in particular by the fact that the laws allowing gay marriage have been passed in 15 different countries.
Granting the same status to gay and traditional couples leads to the destruction of the family institution because the community tends to perceive as natural those models approved at the state level," the lawmaker has told the popular daily Izvestia.

Awwww.
I guess that rainbow flags and glitter dont work on people that haven’t been sissified.
Da, Duma DOMA.
Bad plan - that would just give the gay mafia something to target. It’s better to simply keep existing laws which define marriage to be . . . marriage.
It used to be that government defined marriage, now government just defiles marriage.
Lol true
Time for legit gymnastics.
The only people who are “homophobic” are those who fear them so much they cave to their every demand. I’m more of a “homobarf.” “Abomination” means “disgusting,” as in it makes one want to throw up.
