What is so shocking to me is that none of the members of parliament stood up against this law being passed. An unanimous vote of 436 is astounding. Do Russians hate homosexuality so much because of their orthodox beliefs? I wonder. I doubt it has to do with their orthodox beliefs as you put it, since Romania is primarily orthodox christian as well, yet people don't really give a damn about whether or not someone is homosexual, except for maybe backwards rural areas (the same kind of areas that shelter hateful rednecks in the USA). I'd wager it has more to do with who these parliament members are and who is really pulling the strings on this. | ||

You can have good or bad opinion on the issue, but what is important is that you are allowed to argue it with a good amount of freedom. In the case of this OP, it is already clear that he does not want to hear what the religious conservative opinion on the matter is, and thus all comment lead to the same direction, calling the law retarded. | ||

But reading the op, it is obvious which side of the issue it already stands, thereby affecting the discussion. What about those who favor this law? OPs like this discourage a healthy discussion because they already manipulate the discussion to go on a specific way. I'm gonna go out on a limp here, but i think it's not healthy for anyone except for oppressors to disscus the "benefits" of oppression. | ||

besides, the church assumes you're not having sex until you get married anyway so there is plenty of time to learn about it after 18. it is discrimination but i don't know why, telling a preteen that he is gay, is always the right call. it may help him but it also may screw him over. | ||

Is it really a matter of opinion? Because as far as I know, arbitrary persecution is nothing but detrimental to both the targeted group and society as a whole. There is no "good" side to it. | ||

Until i find the copy of the law (which should be digitally published), I wouldn't believe BBC on this one, Russians aren't that stupid, although I met a number of anti-gay "thinkers". | ||

I have no problem if a person supports Satanism, unicorns, socialism, orthodox catholicism, believing in Catholic miracles, doing pagan rituals, whatever, but I have a problem when people are immediately disadvantaged in a discussion. The framing of this OP immediately puts the orthodox catholics at a disadvantage. | ||

You DO realize, that whatever you want it or not, most humans begins to f!ck like rabbits around the age of 16 years, right? If no one teaches them about sex before that time, they are gonna be vulnarable to STD's. Teaching about sex is done because it's necessary for the childrens well being, not because we want to f!ck them. | ||

I for one am for equal rights, however I do think that being gay is some sort of genetic disorder or whatever.

Since you bothered to answer, is the speech about minorities true (that Putin gave, I think)? Meaning the one where it was stated that there will be no secondary language in Russia and everyone who lives there will learn Russian or can feel free to GTFO? Apparently it was met with standing ovations. I'm just curious if the war against minorities of any kind is as severe as the media makes it out to be. | ||

It's being equal with the native population. | ||

The framing of this OP immediately puts the orthodox catholics at a disadvantage. There are hundreds of years worth of discourse on this, and it is all under the bridge. Done. No further discussion necessary. Discriminating people because of their race, creed, and gender is morally indefensible. Society has grown much since the Inquisition, and we have become a more tolerant society. To even start to argue about religious justification of bigotry is worthy of hell, it's a shame it does not exist. Do your research, you have the power to liberate yourself from ignorance. | ||
