![]() 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.] if you are Gay in Russia - hide Last edited by arista; 18-01-2014 at 12:05 PM. |
