You mistake the law of the gulag for righteousness. This is the same country where young Russian conscripts are routinely raped by their superiors, and where we've even seen them on the battlefield using rape as punishment, but were told by Russian propagandists this was "punishment for cowards between men" and nothing was gay about it.
No wonder you can always tell a Pooty Pal when they start tossing out terms like, globohomo; light in the loafers, grooming, etc. This criminal culture led by a man who telegraphs his hidden tendencies by boy belly kissing can’t even admit that rape is rape when it happens in their military. Oh, NO, it is just punishment between men, not gay at all. Bullllshxxx!
