I cannot believe people are actually taking FiWiFaKi's post seriously but w/e. This thread gone completely obnoxious already.

I'm just going to stop posting guys, didn't think I'd get this much hate.
I never said I believe all I said, I was offering a different perspective, and just some food for thought, because just as some people look at gay's as "sub humans", you guys look at anti-gays as "sub humans", when you aren't understanding their logic. I was trying to get into their shoes and find their arguments and perspectives, and MANY of the posts just tried and argue my point by not even pointing out flaws in my logic, instead, calling my a sociopath, loling, etc.
So whatever, that's what you get when you try and provoke some thoughts.

If you are ontop of the food chain, why do you feel bad for all others to try and even everything out, I never understood it. Many examples are of this. Say you are a western white man, why do you all of the sudden feel:
1) Woman should have equal rights to you
2) No more slaves
3) We should feed starving people in Africa
4) Go liberalize the middle east or something
5) Give equal rights to homosexuals and bisexuals
6) No more animal cruelty
7) Helping incompetent disabled people
Not being a troll or anything, but seriously, if you are well off, why do you try and make everyone equal and make you poor in the process? Survival of the fittest, top of the food chain survives - which is the majority in the society. Maybe this is a crazy perspective, and I don't fully embrace it, but why is everyone so negative about this law? Are all the homosexuals on TL posting? Since to me everyone takes the group that is the well off, takes them as suckers, and tries to get to their level. And people buy that shit. Russia putting the hammer down, so good on them.

I don't see what's the big deal. Talking about sex to a kid is already a much avoided subject between adults and children. Well it's okay to say 'most children have a mommy and a daddy, and they love each other' and not okay to describe heterosexual intercourse in detail. The same applies to discussions about homosexuality. It's okay to acknowledge that two men or two women can be boyfriends or girlfriends, without describing how they have sex. It's a copout to support this law by saying children shouldn't have this stuff explained to them since we already do it appropriately for heterosexual relations. Teaching kids about homosexuality and homosexuals is going to be just as awkward. Definitely can be true (doesn't have be). I guess the correct response, rather than dealing with it, is to unfairly oppress huge groups of people.
Imagine you're the teacher in a class and you're teaching sex ed You generally don't teach sex ed until the students are 15-16 and by then they can handle this stuff. and a some darn kid decide to ask is doing a guy or a girl better. You can tell them the question is inappropriate for class. Why is it okay for your student to ask you about who is better to do? You can be neutral, and say they're both good, then the kid asks you "which one do you do?" And before you know it, you got parents bombarding you. With this law implemented, it makes it easy for educators, even if it's not true. This ridiculous law is not necessary for a half-way competent teacher to deal with such a situation.
Hell, anyone who pursuit sciences and engineering knows that the simple formulas and models aren't true and yet we're teaching them because we have to start somewhere. So unless someone wants to say with 100% confidence how we should teach our kids about homosexuals with minimal effect on altering their sexuality then I don't see why avoiding the whole subject at all should be bad. So it's okay to discuss heterosexuality but not homosexuality? The comparison to formulas that simplify situations is a bit ridiculous. I can use the same logic to discuss almost everything I like, and ban discussing almost everything I don't like.
You really should re-evaluate this issue and be more open minded about it.

Today is my 32nd birthday, and the first time I've ever been embarrassed about a thread on TL. I have been a reader for years, (jaedong fighting) but I don't really post on here, because I always feel like I have missed the boat, and don't have time to read the 15 pages of posts and spot where someone smarter than me already posted my point on a topic. Generally, I brag about the readers and posters of this website to my non-video gaming friends. The intelligence it takes to get out of silver sort of implies that you are smarter than most people who walk around this earth, and yet far too many posts in this thread seem to be missing the point about this law.
I don't know much about Russia, but to me, this is about information and education. Is it illegal to inform children about the existence of bears? Is it illegal to inform children about the existence of Jesus? Whether you think being gay is wrong or not, whether you think it's a mental defect, or a choice only an adult can make, whether or not you want them prancing about next to your coffee shop, they exist, and frankly, throwing eggs at them is enough to prove they exist. If they chose this sinful lifestyle, or are subject to mother nature's attempt to thin the population, or are just real life trolls who want to defile the sanctity of marriage or even humanity, it is still hard to argue that they exist. To deny children the information about what exists is far more appalling than any ignorant person's opinion or belief.
I can argue about the existence of Jesus, and of Heaven and Hell, because there is very little evidence of any of it. It is impossible to argue that people who believe in this stuff exist, because they are flesh and blood human beings breathing the same air that I breathe. Are there other precedents of Russia suppressing any other reality based information like this? To attempt to put an entire generation into denial reminds me that there must be some country that tries to deny that the German Holocaust ever happened. A lot of time and money is spent in this country to inform children about "stranger danger," to address a small percentage of adults that want to kidnap and or molest small children. I would argue that this is in many ways a waste of money, but it is impossible for me to put myself into denial about the existence of dangerous strangers. At what age is it appropriate for a child to learn that unicorns or dragons don't exist? At what age is it appropriate for children to learn that poisonous berries exist? I venture to say that I would be less appalled if Russia passed a law to actively inform children that homosexuality is a terrible sin or a blight on society, because at least it doesn't require, by law, that you lie to children when they ask very innocent questions.

This law encourages homophobia, you said you can't force people to be gay friendly. Fine. That doesn't mean you force them in the other direction either. That was the point.
Also, "forcing" straight people to be gay friendly isn't discriminatory towards straight people because straight people aren't inherently homophobic.

Russia's population is dying. The death rate is much much higher than the birth rate, and the exorbitant amount of death during the Eastern front of World War II is remembered constantly by especially the older generation, which forms a considerable part of the Duma.
The result of this is that Russia is desperate to stabilize its population. I haven't seen it personally but I believe there is a government stipend for having a child on June 12, Russia Day. The point of all of this is that some in the government really want people to increase the birth rate, almost making it a patriotic duty.
Putin went on CNN before and said he was publicly discouraging homosexuality in an effort to encourage all to reproduce and possibly increase Russia's population. This is just an extension of that belief. The Church may support it and conservatives may support it but this is the underlying cause for a lot of the support among middle aged and older Russians.
I originally lived in Moscow and visit there at least once a year, my mom especially likes discussing this issue when it's brought up. So the 150 million population of Russia can not multiply because of a few hundred homosexuals.God damnit so thats the new excuse.A few gay people having sex in their bedrooms prevent 150 million russians form having sex.Where do homophobes come up with this stuff.Putin is a politician he needs the church to subdue the masses.But really homosexuals being responsible for depopulation.Thats a new one.
Many atheists in Russia are still homophobic. The Church might subdue the people who already have homophobic tendencies - the older generations. The population rose for the first time since 1991 last year so any growth is good growth. I'm not arguing that it's not a stupid decision because it is. I'm saying that there is a rationale for the government to do this besides the usual "church/quelling dissenters/medieval bigotry" rationale for what is going on here.
And there is way more than a few hundred gays in the country.

I really think that, though there are some universal things like tolerance, this shows that is more society than any kind of universal standard that sets the bar for what is tolerated. While the west increasingly looks at homosexuality in an at least neutral light, the east hasn't found that the issue deserves tolerance. This is definitely a cultural thing IMO.

The only person you're screwing over with it is yourself(assuming you are straight). I'm trying to find reasoning for this topic to be such an important topic to people. I've stayed out of this until now, because its like really... are we still going on about this? Why do people care so much? EDIT: I'm trying to offer the more "radical" perspective here, just so people can actually have a second to think, no need to bash me for what I said. LOTS of people think what we don't here if it gets banned in countries, its not as if they don't have a brain. So analyze before you say the Russians are dumb/crazy/etc, and make an education decision whether it's a bad or good decision before being anti gay=awful. Maybe it's good for the common good in Russia.
Screwing everyone when you are at the top can turn out to be a horrible idea of the roles are turned at some point. Also most men know and care for women, why would you not support a world that give them equal rights to you? Same with gay's, I know a couple and they are good people and have been good to me, why wouldn't I support their desire to be accepted and be able to marry (or whatever it may be)? I fail to see how this are "screwing myself over".

All marriage should be banned because its a stupid religious tradition thats unnatural. Why do people become militant athiests these days and yet still want to get married.. mind blowing.
You don't need a ring and a priest to make your love official, gay people should be fighting for marriage to be removed from law, not for marriage to be allowed by gay/lesbians.
