This has nothing to do with LGBT, as anything LGBT-related is already totally silenced in Russia. They just want a legal and public supported reason to ban Western media, including social platforms like Reddit.
I disagree, I think it's both. They definitely want to tighten control on their media and populace but they didn't just pick some "issue" at random to attack. Homophobia and transphobia are quite prevalent in Russia which allows for grassroots support among the more conservative population.
How much longer will vilifying the LGBTQ+ community fly with the average Russian? Genuinely asking because it seems like any sane person would see through what United Russia and Putin are doing with this in the backdrop of a unbelievably failing war effort, but idk Russia is a special place with special people
One would imagine so. But played against the backdrop of what happened in North Carolina yesterday, where three electric distribution stations in Moore County were sabotaged in order to shut down a drag show, one must also declare the USA as a ‘special’ place with ‘special’ people… and they would, and do, support Putin/Russia specifically because Russia officially vilifies the LGBTQ+ community.
I always get nervous when someone protests about the LGBT community. It makes me wonder if they secretly want to participate. Like the saying "me thinks the lady doth protest too much " And Putin's photos of him being shirtless riding a horse doesn't help alleviate my concerns
I hope it doesn't happen in Lithuania if opposition wins election in two years because the current opposition is socially right-wing and anti-LGBT. God forbid.
Being hypocritical pos he is (driving Mercedes while hating the West), I would not be surprised if Putin himself is gay or maybe even a pedophile. Remember him kissing a boy on stomach?
I hate living in a world ruled by fossils I hate living in a world ruled by fossils I hate living in a world ruled by fossils I hate living in a world ruled by fossils I hate living in a world ruled by fossils I hate living in a world ruled by fossils I hate living in a world ruled by fossils
Lol I bet they have a whole list of things to enact when embarrassing shit happens on the field. In this case it would probably be the loss of two nuclear bombers to Ukraine while the US shows off a brand new one.
Please don't use the term "gay pedophilia". Being gay is a state of mind (which I happen to share). Gayness does not include child abuse, which has nothing gay about it.
I mean, 1 in 4 Russians don’t have indoor plumbing..
Thought I would look it up so I can repeat this fun fact:
Yeah but at least they no longer have to worry about someone in their country that they'll never meet or ever hear about being gay.
That’s gay propaganda, be aware of the stairs

this group is used to being pushed, and will push harder in every creative way possible. also, don’t tell the military…
They'll push back that's for sure.

Bingo, it’s an EXCUSE.

As an LGBTQ person who's often had my voice silenced for 68 years, I respectfully disagree.
He is doing a speed run to the absolute bottom.
Bet he's wishing he could go back to domestic policies only and forget this whole foreign affairs stuff he did.
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much…

More than half of Russians are against homosexuals' equal standing in society to heterosexuals. Russia is not a progressive country.
Couple of things.
The same way it would with Republicans, and every other party with similar ideology in every other Country. This is a global issue.
You’re incredibly naive if you think social views have shifted that much.
I think they use this law to silence anyone against them.
Russians and Republicans find common ground once again!
Ah yes. Setting up to put the blame on someone
As the old saying goes
A pants shitter says what?
what?
what
???
Republicans cream themselves at the thought
It’s where they are getting their marching orders.
Antigay sentiment in my opinion is based on fear.
Putin is having a heated gamer moment rn
If it’s one thing that makes me feel gay; it’s state sanctioned gay propaganda.
I hate to break it to him, but if all it takes to get a straight man to slobber up a pole is some "propaganda", then those folks are gay...
Maybe he should redeploy his troops to the domestic gay bars? I'm sure they'd have a better time there than in Ukraine.
With the Royal ass fucking Ukraine is handing Russia its no wonder Putin wants an end to all this buggery..
So they banned Putin-related propaganda?
Why? There are no gay people in Russia, right?
No riding ponies without a shirt.

We don't really want him, lol.
Republicans need to start moving to Russia. Seems like it’s their sort of country.
Petition to bomb Moscow with butt plugs, dildos, leather chaps and pride flags.
Punching down on minorities is an all time favorite of decaying societies.

Putin doesn't care about LGBT. It's a pure cynical political technology.
Being hypocritical pos he is (driving Mercedes while hating the West), I would not be surprised if Putin himself is gay or maybe even a pedophile. Remember him kissing a boy on stomach?
Really trying to win over American conservatives I see.
Yep, everything that happens in the world needs to involve the Americans.

By carefully analysing your comment I can conclude, with a very high confidence, that you hate living in a world ruled by fossils.
Vladolf Putler
Putin is suss
This will definitely fix all of Russia's issues.
*doing everything he can to get people's support*
Yeah that'll solve all of Russia's social and economic problems that will.
Hey Putin, we got some non propaganda videos of your boys in Ukraine.
And every Republican in America cheers for their Alpha Male God! He's so anti-woke they want to cancel the Constitution over it!
Good use of time
Of course he did it because he’s a piece of shit
WTF is it anyone else's business where mutually consensual love, or indeed lust, is involved?
So love isn't universal, it's what Putin declares it to be?
Because freedom in all its forms is bad.
Lol I bet they have a whole list of things to enact when embarrassing shit happens on the field. In this case it would probably be the loss of two nuclear bombers to Ukraine while the US shows off a brand new one.
Poopin is expanding homophobia daly
This guy must wake up in the morning and think “how can I make myself even more disliked by my own people today”
Friendly reminder that gay pedophilia is fine in the Russian church.
Please don't use the term "gay pedophilia". Being gay is a state of mind (which I happen to share). Gayness does not include child abuse, which has nothing gay about it.
These are a whole new sleu of potential agents for The West, now that they've been completely disenfranchised by their government!

Keeping it classy, huh Vlad?
Wait a minute. Putin is going full homophobe at the same time the gop is.

Are you too embarrassed to say penis and vagina? Did mommy say they're no-no words? What are you, 11?
Well, good thing we have you to tell other people what gender they have.
That's what sex is. That's not what gender is.
I'm not against the idea of it entirely. Obviously this prick took it to far.
