Leader Putin warns All Gays




http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...mpics-children

Russian president vows no discrimination
but says gay people must
observe law banning 'homosexual propaganda'

[Vladimir Putin has said that gay people
will be not be subjected to harassment
at the Winter Olympics in Sochi,
as long as they stay away from children.
Putin is currently in Sochi reviewing
preparations for the Games, which begin
in three weeks. During a meeting with
some of the thousands of volunteers
who will work during the Olympics,
he was asked why their uniform
were rainbow coloured, given the recent
Kremlin anti-gay initiatives.
"We do not have a ban on non-traditional
sexual relationships," said Putin in comments
reported by Russian agencies.
"We have a ban on the propaganda
of homosexuality and paedophilia.
I want to underline this.
Propaganda among children.
These are absolutely different
things – a ban on something
or a ban on the propaganda of that thing."
Putin also added that Russia
was more liberal than some
other countries, claiming that
in certain US states homosexuality
was still punishable by law.]

They are into children - Putin claims

I can't understand how the Winter Olympics hasn't been withdrawn from Russia. Once again they show themselves as an uneducated backwater. How embarrassing for them.

Which ones

yes a few South States in America
are like Putin over gays

[Tom4784]

Putin is a ****ing moron and any international event that takes place in Russia should be widely boycotted.

Putin doesn't know his elbow from his arse, homosexuality isn't banned in ANY American state and the thing about European countries considering making Paedophilia legal is so stupid that I can't actually believe he has the gall to say it. It makes me wonder how such a moron could actually worm his way into power.

Not since 2003. Which is actually shockingly recent.

[Munchkins]

And to think there were members on here praising Putin as some legend, even if it was a joke -.-

The thing is, he's not a stupid man. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's uniting his people by encouraging them to hate something in common. Nothing unites people more than hating something in common; homosexuality is being portrayed as a hedonistic Western concept and any Russian discovered to be homosexual is therefore a traitor to religious and social values in Russia... he's a very smart man, Putin, which is much scarier than him just being stupid and uneducated. It's the opposite.

That's true, it kind of fits into a long history of countries opposed to the west portraying homosexuality in that way

Russia tried to integrate itself into the West and got knocked back; and then institutions like NATO, the EU etc started to encroach upon former Soviet territory... installing defense systems in Romania, EU accessions etc... the recent troubles in the Ukraine were a turning point for Russia. The Ukraine was about to commit to EU partnership and then Russia put all its political pressure on the Ukraine through oil and gas to keep it in Russia's sphere of influence; the West has never really tried to put an end to the tensions created by the Cold War and now it just sort of exists as an energy war instead; all these proxy problems in other countries are based solely on oil and gas and I think Putin's trying to promote Russian values everywhere and hating on the gays is just a small part of that.

that's a pretty rainbow-coloured looking olympic kit to me, Putin, what kind of propaganda is this

[Z]

I was about to suggest maybe he's secretly gay so I went and looked at his Wikipedia entry because I'd never heard any mention of him having a wife or family but then discovered he is married (though due to divorce his wife) and he has two daughters but no pictures of them have ever been published in Russian media. He doesn't seem to be a family man.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he turned out to be gay, it would make a lot of sense.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Not every country can be on the same page as we are.

The Winter Olympics are helping to highlight this issue in Russia re homosexuality. I think it will help push this agenda in a positive way overall.

[Livia]

it amuses me that Coca Cola, sponsors of the Winter Olympics in Russia, have brought out that advert with those dreadful overacting stage school kids in a choir, and a clip of what is clearly a gay marriage. Coca Cola saying hey, look at us! We're inclusive! We're not homophobes! Honest we're not!

Yeah probably

Putin is the best leader this world has seen in recent times, he has made Russia a gold mine with the Oil business him and Roman should be honored for their work together, took Russia's military miles forward, stopped America ruthlessly bombing other countries for their gain, the russians want him and love him as a leader and thats really all that matters.

who are we to judge a man who has changed the fortunes of a great country.
