Good. Maybe the US will follow with an similar bill. I hope so. Until that day. I'm moving to Russia.

One step forward and two steps back..

corruption from the soviet system, etc.
you think the democracy is real?
I can list all sorts of problems with russia (educational corruption often ruins the chance for a good future for many kids), but the facts are most still like their country and wouldn't call it shit.
Ofc some want to just fuck off to someplace else but there are those in every country (eg. people calling the US shit)[/QUOTE]
Russians love their country, when it comes to its government however, it is mostly polarized.

not all, one friend has been trying to get into the US/Canada for at least 3 years now.
I'd say most are apathetic towards politics in general.

Did you know people actually think it's a good idea to move countries just because their traditional marriage is "endangered"

Yeah, he wants to get out due to the government, not because he actually hates the country itself.
There is a difference between country and government.
Lol they're not really corrupt if the population overwhelmingly supports this, and apparently pretty much every party with seats voted for it. I'm not really surprised and even though this is a bad move imo, the elected officials represented the population.

Russians and revolutions don't mix too well.
Well, it is their country, and they decided on that. It is not like they paint all gay people in rainbow colors and stick them into a ghetto only to put them into concentration camps later.

I can't even tell if you're joking or just stupid.
[QUOTE=Glorbo;40993832]lol, what reality are you living in[/QUOTE]
I'm not calling it a third world country, I'm just saying US can be really fucking shitty at times.
its stupid not to see the problems america has.

no he actually hates the culture and everything.
Gay Ban? More like... Gaben!

they don't feel like they have the means to do it
nothing is so simple.

They did once, and it was awful.
fucking animals
Unfortunately a large percentage of Russians still believe that attraction to the same gender is a kind of mental illness. My partner's parents (we're both bi) sent her to heteronormative therapy when she was a teenager because they still held onto that idea (they were from the former USSR).

Pretty sure he's joking, no one would willingly move to Russia.
[QUOTE=Melnek;40994208]Russians and revolutions don't mix too well.[/QUOTE]
Never said it had to be a revolution.
[QUOTE=a203xi;40994405]Never said it had to be a revolution.[/QUOTE]
ok why would Russians rebel against their government because the officials represented the majority of people.
[QUOTE=Melnek;40994208]Russians and revolutions don't mix too well.[/QUOTE]
Nah, they mix perfectly; it's just after the revolution things go bad.
[quote]see as corrupting Russian youth and contributing to the protests against Putin's rule.[/quote]
It's all about fucking politics isn't it.
[QUOTE=SeamanStains;40993809]It isn't just this, Russia in general is a shit place.
I'm also very surprised that not one single person in the Duma had either a conscience or balls.
How can an entire parliament be full of cowards and homophobes.[/QUOTE]
Every single country on Earth always has plenty of shit to deal with, it just differs in distribution and intensity, there is no "good country". But that does not mean that you should or should not be proud of one, that part is up to you.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a line in the bill that says "If you vote against this you're confirmed for being super gay".
Eastern Orthodoxy, the majority religion in Russia, has never been through a reformation, like the Western Catholicism has. It's extremely strong in Eastern Europe, and you'd be amazed to find out nearly everyone is a homophobe, a racist, and a devout Orthodox Christian at the same time.
Wow cool now all these super conservative Americans finally have a place they can move to if they want to escape the gay hordes.
Don't forget the UK's Swivel-eyed loons.
[QUOTE=ultra_bright;40994441]It's all about fucking politics isn't it.[/QUOTE]
no it's more about orthodoxy.
All you cannot actually say that you expected Russia to pass any kind of gay rights bill.
Seriously, its R U S S I A
