Jingthing Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) there are a lot Russian gays specially in Pattaya. Talk with them how Putin The Horrible treats them. A piece of my advice is: do not watch/read too much mass-media like Fox News))) Russian gays I see don't want to mix with foreigners, even Thais. I can't see how I could trust they would representative of gays across Russia anyway. Of course there are some elites that are doing OK. But try to be a gay school teacher in Russia ... good luck. I think you really don't get it. It's like you think gay civil rights are only about still having the chance to have sex. Nope. It's much more than that. Who said I get my info from Fox? That's just a cheap shot. Unlike in Russia where most of the media is controlled by Putin. Edited January 12, 2015 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choctastic Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There's an interesting snippet in the Guardian piece, which the howling mob fail to mention. The WHO classifies transgender people as mentally ill. Here's another article on this... http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/09/29/european-parliament-calls-for-end-of-classifying-transgender-people-as-mentally-ill/ Since the Russian legislation seems to have taken its lead from the WHO list of mental diseases, which is STILL extant, then perhaps some fire needs to be directed at the WHO.

Or perhaps not. Russia is responsible for its own laws and these driving laws are blatantly bigoted against sexual minorities. All you have done is post an irrelevant diversion from the topic. They have access to WHO documents in western Europe and aren't as stupid, hateful, and BACKWARDS as Russia is in this regard. If you're suggesting Russia wouldn't have done this if the WHO was different, maybe you'd like to sell us a bridge cheap as well.

Scott Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I fail to understand what sexual orientation has to do with driving. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morakot Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I fail to understand what sexual orientation has to do with driving. What am I missing? You're not missing anything. These laws are not about driving. They're about scapegoating. It's not as simple as this. Russia has one of the worst road traffic accident rates in Europe and there is a genuine problem that legislators are trying to address. However the issue is misused and "conveniently" extended by excluding per se those who are seen as "deviant" -- who are already marginalised and unjustly discriminated against.

If you can get beyond maligning me with manufactured crimes, here's the tract which the Guardian found relevant even if you did not... 'Transsexuals and transvestites are also on the list, which is drawn from the World Health Organisation’s list of “gender identity disorders” and “disorders of sexual preference.” As to whether a 'disorder' of this kind is an impediment to safe driving, it is bizarre to think so and I can only think the Russians are sticking their fingers up at the NGOs and TV agitators, frothing at the mouth. Either that or the legislators have cut and paste the WHO list of disorders into their draft, without thinking it through. Whatever. In practice, I doubt there will be any enforcement.

It's a pity Tony Abbott didn't just lay that fool out while he had the chance......would of been great watching Putins ancient old steam ships racing up the east coast of Australia from Melbourne while that sick critter Putin was crawling around the floor of the Brisbane convention centre looking for his teeth. Probably the only chance someone would of had at knocking some sense into the evil SOB. Damn you Tony Abbott. 5555555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
