Russia - Gay Rights - Sochi Olympics Megathread

[EpicSaxe]

When I read this, I cracked a smile and laughed for a few reasons. The Amount of flak that the Russian Government will end up getting is hysterical especially in the event that someone is arrested. But that's not why I laughed. Protecting your child from "Homosexual Propaganda" is a farse and is silly. If you're child is Homosexual, then its just a fact..well its mentally proven to be such a fact. Christianity is showing itself to really push an issue that Jesus never said a word about and was cited to be on the words of St. Paul the Apostle (Also the most easily debunked Apostle). Being a former Roman Catholic turned Bi-Sexual and into a Pantheistic state of mind taught me one thing about Christianity and the like.

People can't keep their nose out of it.

That's a shame that it doesn't have anything to say on such a hot button topic.

Sounds Archaic.

It's actually quite progressive, because by not teaching about homosexuality, it actually endorses a person's freedom of choice.

How do you feel, being beaten by a religion that existed before the creation of the Universe (according to your book)?

Agora a treta ficou séria! (now we have some serious crash right here.)

[Nationalist State of Knox]

My religion doesn't produce a single teaching on homosexuality as such.

Wait, Knox, aren't you an atheist?

What religion is that?

Or maybe it is teaching you not to be a homosexual as it feels it's so obvious it doesn't need to state it.

No religion existed before the creation of the universe according to my book, as there were no humans....

Nah, we Sumerians never discriminated based on sexuality.

And I meant the creation date according to a fundamentalist chronological interpretation (which is six thousand years ago, after the Sumerian religion developed).

Is the Russian Government just now trying to annoy people? if so it is working.

This is sure to cause at least a little damage to Russia's relations with countries that have more respect for LGBT rights.

More so, if Russia arrests a foreign citizen for whom (as far as I know (does it? (if not then forgive my stupidity (and this abuse of brackets)))) their law does not (and should not) apply... major diplomatic incident.

EDIT: I've just realized that I might be very, very wrong. Sorry.

Of course Russia's laws apply to tourists.
They're in fucking Russia unless on diplomatic grounds.

Sorry. But still, I doubt that any sufficiently sane government would take very kindly to that happening to one of their own citizens. Doubly so if they're an athlete for the Olympics, quadruply so if they're there on diplomatic grounds (though the Russians wouldn't be that stupid).

Finally, a Western country has done something sensible. For once I thought that the West is descending into chaos and anarchy because there are so many of them (it all started in 2001 with Netherlands and then most of Western Europe followed the suit - the latest being France and outside Europe the latest victim is Minnesota, USA) doing anti-Godly things by promoting homosexuality masquerading it with the same old excuse of 'human rights and equality'.I was shocked when UN recognised same sex marriage as a 'human right'. But ultimately, sensibility has prevailed. Way to go, Russia! And then the Europeans wonder why their economy is not growing- its because they are displeasing God by promoting homosexuality.

Of course they won't take it well. You can guarantee someone will be arrested by some zealous cop, there'll be bitching to Obama, and shit will be done. Or not. Depends how angry Russia is that day.

Doesn't stop Russia having the right to imprison people under their retarded laws.

I cannot see a situation where a Russian officer will arrest someone on diplomatic grounds, since logically there won't be Russian police there and they have no authority to be there, let alone detain people there.

[Divair]

I find this unlikely.

Your first mistake was claiming Russia to be a western state.

Doesn't matter, read the rest of the tripe in it.

[Nevanmaa]

I think this is a good time for a good old fashioned Olympic boycott. Russia can play their olympic games with like-minded dictatorial hellholes like North Korea, China and all kinds of Neverheardistans.

Another addition to my ignore list.

You'd have lot in common with the Russian government, really. They don't tolerate any different views either.

[L Ron Cupboard]

Does Mutko have political ambitions or does he just like saying things to get in the headlines? His past antics suggest the latter.

Thankfully, a Westerner agrees with my views. The disadvantages of promoting homosexuality are many - loss in family culture, decrease of population (that will be a disadvantage for Russia which already reports a population decline), ascent of anarchy. And its not stupid to think that homosexuality will lead to collapse of society.

I consider all states with majority White population to be Western.

What's stupid in what I said? I am free to express mt views, no matter if you find them stupid even if they are not.
