Which will, of course, be praised by the very same people who were ranting about "filthy godless Rooskies" just 30 years ago. News flash: the Russian people haven't changed; only their system of government has.

BBC News - Russian Duma passes law banning 'gay propaganda'

This ban on 'gay propaganda to minors' means that no expression of the very existence of homosexuality is permitted that could conceivably be seen by anyone under 18. So, no gay newspapers, no gay rallies, and possibly no gay websites either.

At the same time, a law was passed that forbids any offense to religious sensibilities. Whether this applies to Muslims or only to orthodox Christians is, as yet, unclear.

So much for Russia as a bastion of freedom.

It's no coincidence that American conservatives look to countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iran as countries the USA should emulate.

The same reason they still think liberals are all a bunch of patchouli-drenched long-haired hippies. It's now 2013 but they're stuck in 1967.

Well, what's not to love? More God, less Gays. Just what they always salivate over.

Good for them. As we have seen here the gay agenda is the most effective by inserting itself into the mass culture. Nip it in the bud before it starts.
