Well its pretty obvious why someone who isn't familiar with gay family adoption may be put off by it. Probably more to do with ignorance than hate. You guys need to stop throwing those words around in the manner you do. Its counterproductive to your goals.

I'm glad they're enforcing these laws. Are you guys not scared of what will happen if gays run rampant? Sooner or later the earth will go extinct because lack of population. Russia has their head screwed on straight, why can't you airheads be the same? What if I want to have sex or marry my dog, will that be something people fight for next? you start with gays, then move on to animals, then people have sex with walls. The puck has to stop somewhere.

Russia has experienced an upsurge in homophobic vigilantism following the introduction of legislation outlawing "homosexual propaganda" in June, gay and lesbian groups say.

The new laws, which have cast a shadow over the Winter Olympics to be held in Sochi early next year, ban the promotion of "non-traditional sexual relations" among minors.

Activists say the legislation has emboldened rightwing groups who use social media to "ambush" gay people, luring them to meetings and then humiliating them on camera – sometimes pouring urine on them. These groups often act against gay teenagers, several of whom told the Guardian that rising homophobia and vigilante activity force them to lead lives of secrecy.

The Russian LGBT Network said the harassment of gay people was being organised nationally for the first time through groups known as Occupy Gerontophilia and Occupy Paedophilia, who claim to be trying to "reform" homosexuals.
