http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/02/crimea-not-need-gay-people-top-officialCrimeas most senior official has said sexual minorities have no chance on the peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine in March.
Speaking about gay people during a Crimean government session on Tuesday, the regions de facto leader Sergei Aksyonov said we in Crimea do not need such people.
In comments reported by the Russian news agencies Interfax and Itar-Tass, Aksyonov said that if the LGBT community tried to hold public gatherings, our police and self-defence forces will react immediately and in three minutes will explain to them what kind of sexual orientation they should stick to.
He added that Crimean children should be brought up with a positive attitude to family and traditional values.

(8,462 posts)2. There AREN'T Fascists running the government in Kiev.
but they sure do run the show in Russia, and now Crimea.
The outright LIE that fascists run the Ukrainian government is one of the "big lies" being put forward by the fascists in Moscow and those who sympathize with them.
