The gay propaganda law is less about the actual LGBT rights movement than it is about keeping American NGO's out of Russia. Also, part of the reason for Russia's conservative stance on LGBT issues is that there is a lot of prejudice in society, and the government has fears that a social movement could lead to social conflict. Moreover, in certain areas, Russian laws are more liberal than in some Western countries such as the United States.
