From your link, William..
"Aksyonov provided further evidence of the antigay atmosphere in the meeting. Employing the same language homophobic politicians in the U.S. and elsewhere have used for decades, Aksyonov admonished Crimean parents that they should bring their children up "with a positive attitude to family and traditional values," according to Pink News".
And, of course it did..
"Aided by pro-Russian forces inside Crimea, Russia's strong-arm takeover of the region this year brought with it the draconian antigay law signed by President Vladimir Putin that forbids promotion of "homosexual propaganda" to minors. Along with the law has come fear and violence for LGBT Crimeans."
And, we have Putin Pushers on this board who sign off on this shit..
Thank you, William~
We had a thread around here not too long ago from Kurska asking what was up with all those on DU supporting the Homophobic Dictator, Putin. Didn't go over so well with some as you could imagine.
