balo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Must be someone that really hates people who are different that managed to write this new law. It would have been an April fools day joke anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Must be someone that really hates people who are different that managed to write this new law. It would have been an April fools day joke anywhere else. It's a way to divert attention of the masses away from economic problems because they might wake up and revolt against the regime. These groups were already widely hated in Russia ... this is just a political capitalization of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjcampbe Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Je suis un transsexuel Russe ! Really? PM me. I know this is a serious issue, but this is just so ridiculous I can't stop myself from laughing at these homophobic fools. How can any country expect to make policy like this and not be ridiculed in the international community? There are backward countries where I might expect this, but Russia is theoretically a world power / leader. At least they try to position themselves that way... In fact, they are sliding backwards in human rights and taking an international stance of stupidity, arrogance and aggression. Kind of scary, actually.

chrischronic Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Im not sure if its true but I was told that Russia has a real population problem and need more people to keep the country intact. The government knows this and is doing anything it can to discourage people from being gay so people will make more babies. A Russian Gay man told me and my Gf this.

BadBouy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The Russkies are doubling down on the scapegoating. Big problems there of their own creation. Time to blame the west and their own that are perceived to be different. Scapegoating would mean there was some type of thinking or strategy involved, this is mindless. They must have some pretty powerful gay-dar to detect a transgender person is behind the wheel. Such an advanced nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been an April fools day joke anywhere else. The law is not new. it's from 1992. It's the interpretation and arbitrary implementation of this law and the usual exaggeration of reports that is leading to these assumptions.
