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.

sex at an early age is facilitated by society via information and ... gadgets.
did your (grand)grandparents start having sex ~16?.

Probably. The idea the people shouldn't have sex until they're an 'adult' is a very new idea. For the vast majority of history people were getting married and having kids soon after puberty.

You'd be surprised. People in the 30s and 40s married before they were in their 20s

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 is also a requirement for any immigrants moving to France that they MUST learn French. How can you exist in a society where you will often not be understood if you don't speak the language? You don't have to ONLY speak French, but you must be able to interact in society. And france is quite socialist about most issues, this is one I understand. Its silly for one or one hundred people to move to a country and expect the entire population to learn to speak to them, when it is they who chose to come to a new country. that said they do provide free classes to those who need it.

Do you realize that by allowing someone to support intolerance you become a hypocrite to what you are saying? The problem with allowing someone to support an intolerant agenda is that they then censor, among other things, the group they are intolerant against.
There is no "middle ground" where the hateful/intolerant and the tolerant can coexist. The hateful/intolerant actively seek to destroy the other group.

So far in this thread, there are 2 Russians, and they are both in favor of the law, Can we at least listen to them

I am aware of the statue you're referring to. I'm also aware that you do nothing but bring religious debate into every single thread you post in, that this fact has gotten you banned already (why not permanently, I can only wonder) and you still do it to this very day. The reason you are disadvantaged in this discussion is not only the fact that you see any amount of good in persecution (ironically, while crying that you're being persecuted in this thread) but also your past conduct on these forums.
There have also been numerous comprehensive discussion that explored every facet and every aspect of such issues. This thread is not for religious debate. Go to a place that allows that, if that's what you're looking for. Or read up on our own closed threads.
There is no reason to allow whatever irrational justification you might find in the act of arbitrary persecution, because there isn't a thing that justifies it.

I was under the impression that neutrality and objectivity is important. 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. But who would argue that being anti-gay is a good thing? I am not saying that being anti-gay is good. 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. 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. See, you do not even want to listen to the opposing argument anymore.
Instead of complaining about the OP, just tell us your argument of why this law is so good, useful and fair !
yes, you should try not to be biased when making a thread, but sometime it is simply not possible. "Yesterday a man killed 27 babies with a chainsaw and then ate all of them. WAIT let me try to find a reason why he was right in doing that so I don't appear biased when telling the story to my friends !"

How is this anti-gay? All its doing is having kids find out about homosexuality when they are mature enough to make a conscious decision regarding it.
1st and most important one: I denies teaching. Let's say 15 year old son is attracted to a boy in his class. He will have no idea why, and will think something is wrong with him, because no one have ever taught him on the subject. And even if he tries to seek help with either his parents or authority figures, they are not allowed to tell him about it.

Its unbelievable how cruel and retarded a lot of people are. Makes me feel like we are still in the dark ages tbh.

It's being equal with the native population.
What do you mean? Yes, it's not a war because they're not forcing anyone to stay in Russia, but if you're not allowed to teach your child about sexuality it's pretty clear that there is a strong bias against homosexuality, which is also a minority. You can't force a gay person to be "equal" with the rest.
Not saying that I agree with different "official" languages in the same country, if they choose to keep it at one that's fine, I was just curious on how accurate the media depicts these events.

The stupidity of this law aside, how are they ever gonna uphold this law?
Let's say i live in Russia, and i explain what homosexuality is to my 10 year old son, because he heard the word in school...
1. What are they gonna do about it? If the teachers reported it, i could just say a stranger told him.
2. What are they gonna do about it, if my son starts to explain his fellow classmates and friends about it? Are they gonna fine a bunch of kids for something they don't understand at all, and will have no clue is even forbidden?(teachers can't mention homosexuality, so they won't know it's a crime).
They are going to ask CIA to give them all their online records on your and your son and find something to pin on you :D

The tolerant can tolerate the other. While the intolerant does not allow the other to even express its opinion. The discussion here except for the two Russians is intolerant of opposing views.

You do realize it's not about immigrants, right? Russia is about 80% russians, the rest are minorities that live in the same place they always have, in territories that have been annexed by Russia earlier in history.
Not surprised at all at this law, Russia is socially backwards, and Putin uses every trick in the populist handbook to remain in power.

What if...
I'm playing 1v1 ladder on EU server and I get cheesed by a russian player.
I get really angry and unleash my frustration via the chat and call him a bastard child.
In my rage episode, I let slip that he's probably gay for trying such a strategy in 1 v 1 (even tho it has no relation).
What is the Russian governement gonna do about the internet kids like me?!
