Yes, I bet with government ministers telling any possible gay athletes to 'leave kids alone' the Russian police are all terribly bust trying to catch gay bashers AT THIS VERY MOMENT.

Note- he presumes that gay athletes will be interested in children. Sexually interested.
What your Deputy Premier said ? Sure is.
I've found this interview:
HE SAYS NOTHING OF THAT! He says exactly the opposite - we are all adults and everyone has a right to have a sexual life in accordance with his orientation. You are free to agitate for your way of life among other adults, but not among the children, leave the kids alone.
That's how it works. They have pulled his words out of context just a little bit - and here we go - in your mind he meant something absolutely different.
Ask your Russian gay friends to translate that video for you.Last edited by Serb; February 11, 2014, 12:35.

Where do you think gay men and lesbians come from ? We don't enter the world fully grown, like Athene from the head of Zeus.
And if just telling children how fantastic being gay was would be enough to make them gay, then there'd also be an awful lot more nuns in the world.
I'm truly astonished you can't see how insulting this is to someone like me- I don't routinely suggest that my heterosexual friends and relatives are interested in children.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Ok, I have translated this for you. You don't trust me, ask your Russian friends to translate:
"We don't have a discrimination based on anyone's sexual orientation, nationality or religion. Nothing won't happen. We are all adults and everyone has a right to conduct his private live as he desires and they can popularize their sexual orientation among the other adults, but just don't touch the children (in that aspect - agitation for your sexual orientation among the children). It's forbidden by the law in all countries of the world both for people of traditional sexual orientation and non-traditional sexual orientation. I hope we won't have any problems during the ceremony. You know that any kind of political propaganda and political actions during the Olympic games is against the Olympic charter, not the Russian laws".
He doesn't presumed that athletes will be interested in children sexually, as you have assumed when you read your article. He says it's ok to popularize your sexual orientation among other adults, but not among the children and it doesn't matter if you are gay or straight if you do so - it's against the law.
Why would he assume that gay athletes have any intent of 'agitating' for their way of life with or among children ?
Where do you think gay men and lesbians come from ? We don't enter the world fully grown, like Athene from the head of Zeus.
And if just telling children how fantastic being gay was would be enough to make them gay, then there'd also be an awful lot more nuns in the world.
This law basically says - it's up to parents to decide when and how exactly to explain their children all things about sex. And if you came to a school or kindergarten (or make a book, or something) and start your agitation among the children - you pay penalty, cause it's non of your business (who the hell ever told you about the "you'll be jailed" part of this law?). How it's not fair?
I'm truly astonished you can't see how insulting this is to someone like me- I don't routinely suggest that my heterosexual friends and relatives are interested in children.
I'm saying that whole hysteria is just plain stupid. It's a huge soap bubble. Ok, we have a law which says you can't agitate for homosexuality among the kids. You call that discrimination, compare us to nazis, etc. So, if this is the discrimination, in this case that assumes to stop this discrimination we should abolish this law to let anyone agitate for his sexual orientation among kids. Right? Is this what you want? To have access to our kids? Really?Then why so much noise out of nothing?
Why do you think it is not a fair position that it's up to parents to decide when and what to tell their children about sex and sexual orientation? Why anyone should intervene in this process?Last edited by Serb; February 11, 2014, 13:37.
