So, why not just castrate (chemical or practical) the criminals instead of sending them to death row? They are practically deadThe lawmaker also told reporters that he considered homosexuality to be a “grave danger for any normal person and for humanity as a whole” because it can affect children and grandchildren and prevent them from reproduction. “In a biological sense, failure to reproduce is the same as death and this makes homosexuality a deadly danger for humanity,” Nikitchuk said.
Thought they actually had some kind of capital punishment (aka death row or killing criminals).
No, wait, came up with a better solution.
Why kill those in Ukraine when you can just castrate them instead?
(And to not get infracted by the comments alone
There's no such thing as a "gay propaganda" as it occurs even in wildlife. Why people detest it so much, could be argued on, but I see no reason to shun other people based on what they like.
It's like saying Gordon Ramsay is a walking crime, cooking his own food in the kitchen, where the lady should be.
Luckily, by having smart people hatching out good plans, Ramsay can still make good omelettes with a gorgeous lady crafting his equipment.
And no, I refer to the kitchenware and therefore saying the woman (women in general) can do anything, even though it is not related to their "gender" (following old tradition).
Does Russia even give a damn what the communist party thinks? You know this was drafted by them and not Putin lawmakers right?
"The communists’ initiative has already met with criticism both from the gay rights campaigners and, surprisingly, from St. Petersburg city lawmaker Vitaly Milonov, known as the main sponsor of the 2013 law banning gay propaganda to minors. Milonov said that the existing norms were sufficient because any public statement could also affect children and this is already banned."
I agree with the part that Russia bans it from the public, but a ban/arrest order for two normal men and/or women for just holding hands and kissing?
I contradict myself a bit, but that's because events for adults should be an event only for adults. Having children in a metal concert is just as productive as having children in a gay pride parade. While they may like it, the public views it in other eyes.
Yes to Gay Pride with decent people and yes to publicly holding hands/kissing for everyone alive (only applicable when it comes to humans)
Ahhhhh I love Russia. Glorious supreme leader Putin for Emperor of the Earth 2017
Yes there is. FYI, most people who are against "gay propaganda" have no problem with gay people. Do whatever you want behind your closed doors. If a gay person is respectful towards me, I'll do the same. I seriously don't care. However I hate the whole degenerate gay parades and gay agenda we have going on in the west. The acceptance of transsexuals, especially young kids (seen a bunch of support towards kids not older than 15 deciding they want to gender swap) is the worst. Instead of looking at things logically we just try to accept everything. Also people try to act like a kid growing up with two dads is fine, come on seriously?
It says it on the article itself. To be fair though, judging by the comments section, seems the readers of RT are too busy praising their glorious leader to realise that they are backing communist party initiatives, woops I guess?
Also this nonsense about Gay Pride...I wish the moral knights would be as outraged with other "family events" like St. Patricks day, where women run around with nothing on but Ireland flags painted on their breasts while parents stumble around drunk out of their minds.
True. Accepting homosexuality and homosexual practices is also as old as humanity itself, depending on the location and cultural norms of the time.
Your history is bad. Russia under the Tsars was very religious. It was the Communist leadership that tried to remove religion from playing a dominant role in Russian lifeRussia was religion influenced like 100 or more years ago. It faded away with the Zar Empire.
Homosexuality is against nature. I support this 100%. Glad to hear that there's at least one sane country in the world.
Swing and a miss, try again.Homosexuality is against nature
It's a shame that Russia seems to be heading in the wrong direction on human rights.
On the topic of ancient times, homosexuality was in many civilizations accepted and "normal".
