Ukrainian separatists pass law to jail anyone "convicted of being gay" for 2.5 years

[quote]KIEV, Ukraine — In the breakaway region that calls itself the Luhansk People’s Republic, in what used to be a Ukrainian government administration building, the place where rebels get together to exchange their most radical ideas is the smoking room. In the dense atmosphere of tobacco and conspiracy, one hot topic has been the death penalty. The council reinstated capital punishment earlier this year. But even such basic questions as what sort of political power should be established have not been resolved. Should Luhansk aim to be a Western democracy? A Communist republic? A monarchy?
Failing to decide such key questions, the council opted for a law everyone in the smoking room seemed to agree on: punishment of homosexuals. They voted to imprison people convicted of being gay for two years and six months. And they voted the death penalty, no question about that, for the rape of a minor whether of the same or opposite sex. The law did not stipulate execution for homosexuals, as some media reported. But the question of how it will be interpreted, like so much else in Luhansk, remains an open question.
...
But the debate went on about gays, with opinion diverging only on the question of what kind of punishment should be given. Alexander Klodchenko, responsible for international relations, told me over the phone he did not agree with the execution part: “The perverts should be treated at psychiatric hospitals,” Klodchenko said.
In fact, the perverse logic of the Luhansk lawmakers is a reflection of their close ties to Moscow and their hunger for old-time religion, old-time politics, old-time strongmen. Klodchenko says he figures that, after the war ends, Luhansk will be a liberal and democratic republic but, personally, he favors a monarchy. "Luhansk needs a strong Tsar,” he said, suggesting that the separatist region’s elections on November 2 may help point the way. (The rest of Ukraine is voting for a new parliament in Kiev on Sunday)
Without reservation, Klodchenko said it is important that Moscow control the separatist parliament: “See, most of my colleagues at the Parliament don’t have any education, so without the Russian Duma’s help, without their instruction and financial aid, we would be nothing,” Klodchenko said. This week, the deputy took a “consulting course” with the Russian state parliament’s parties.
...
The Luhansk anti-gay law discussed by the Luhansk parliament was intended to “defend moral, cultural and religious values,” local reports said.

Nazi vs Nazi at this point, best to let each-other thin themselves out (the nazis that is) then strike when the moment is ripe. We aren't going to lose too much strategic upperhand letting them get Ukraine.
I'm not suprised, these guys have executions for stealing

Feral middle schoolers with guns.

Soviet-apologists are fucking weirdos who don't seem to realise how unequal the Soviet Union truly was.

I hear a lot about these guys, then I hear of other Ukrainian rebels that are nice guys trying to rebuild a government and then Russia's over there jerking it on their border
Jokes on them, jail is heaven to those people.

Why don't republicans adore Eastern Europe? They're capitalist conservatives with a thirst for war.

I distinctly remember some Republicans praising Putin for being a "strong leader". Seems like they are.

Ugh, such barbarians.
What happens when the gay people are released? Do they just...instantly get arrested for being gay again?
"what are you in for?"
"i'm a convicted homosexual"

Anyone who is Pro-Soviet has no idea what the Soviet Union was, what it stood for, and what it was like to live there.
