Whatever Putin thinks of gays, Mr Google suggests that the capital of Russia does not lack gay facilities :

It's really interesting watching the body language of Putin and Obama at meetings, i think Putin respects Obama more then he did Bush by some margin but Obama is always looks like the false one putting on that cheesy smile for the camera and trying to convince the people he has made the right decisions but Putin has always been the same, true to his word since the days of the KGB, a realist and a just man, when he speaks you know he means business you don't get that with Obama everything just feels like bs

Putin is the kind of strong leader that I wish we had in the UK. Sometimes they make questionable decisions but they get things done.

I was gonna bring her up but decided against it I wasn't born when she was in power so while I find her interesting to read about, I don't know what it was like to live through her time in power.

exactly Zee, the ammount of risks putin has took over the years that have paid off for him is nothing short of legendary, it was amazing last year when we voted against action in Syria, Putin must have felt godlike knowng the british people see it from his side more then Cameron's

I know there are 29 states in which you can still be fired from your job for being gay. The republicans refuse to allow a federal vote outlawing this practice on the state level.

As much as I find him questionable the hatred of homosexuals is at much more of a grassroots level than just "well Putin told them so".
There's not going to be a "strong leader like him" over here because the press is much more free and is going to tear everyone to pieces on every account possible. I daresay if a Russian journalist tried the kind of character assassination people over at the Guardian and Independent are free to do, they'd be out of a job or conveniently disappearing soon. They rank 148th out of 179 countries on the Press Freedom Index, and the government owns about 60% of newspapers.

When I said "strong leader" I meant a decisive one who gets things done; Margaret Thatcher being the last leader the UK had to really decisively lead the country. The Russian government controls so much of Russia's infrastructure - Gazprom is more or less a branch of the Russian government, for example. When countries deal with Gazprom, they're dealing with the Russian government. It's a fascinating country. |

The Olympics and the World Cup are businesses, they only care about money. The truth is if you really tried to find a country to host these that doesn't have some kind of human rights issues, you'd have a pretty difficult task. Britain itself was attacked for being chosen for 2012 because of the war in Iraq. Sydney 2000 was attacked for Aboriginal treatment, etc... every country has it's skeletons. As abhorrent as Russia's anti-gay laws are, if we only gave sporting events to perfect countries, we'd have no sporting events.

Anybody who thinks the man is stupid or weak or a fool clearly has not any grasp on reality and probably gets their news from the Sun or Daily Mail.
