Agence France-Presse 30.07.12 MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a bill punishing people for homosexual "propaganda" in a move critics fear will fuel hate crimes. Rights activists and Western governments have criticised bthe bill as part of an unprecedented crackdown on dissenting voices. The anti-propaganda law introduces fines of up to 5,000 rubles ($156) for citizens who disseminate information aimed at minors "directed at forming nontraditional sexual setup" or which may cause a "distorted understanding" that gay and heterosexual relations are "socially equivalent". Opponents have called the bill homophobic and so vaguely defined that it would inevitably be used arbitrarily and stir anti-gay sentiment in the country. However, it sailed through parliament and Putin had promised in advance that he would sign it. The fines go up to as much as 200,000 rubles ($6,250) for officials if such "propaganda" is disseminated through the media or Internet. Foreigners will not only be fined but face administrative arrest up to 15 days and eventual deportation. Organisations face fines of up to one million rubles and a shutdown of their activity for 90 days.
A poll by independent Levada Centre in April showed that 39 percent of Russians believe that gays and lesbians should have the same rights as heterosexuals, while 47 percent disagreed. This represented a more conservative trend than a poll from 2005 where figures showed 51 percent for and 35 percent against.

Someone has some problems with one of the ONLY tv shows on at the moment that doesn’t have a fag character.
I don’t like the show either, but none of them are “faggots” by your definition.
Sheldon is absolutely gay but he is just repressed about it - so far. I have only watched a few times, but pay attention to what he wears. T-shirts with pictures of and emblazoned with the QUEEN Mary, shirts with rainbow colors, shirts with triangles. Subliminal message there. We all know Sheldon’s gay before he does. And Mayim Bialik, his “girlfriend,” was in an episode where she was toying with the idea that many young women experiment with lesbianism. I got all this from watching maybe 5 times.
Sheldon will finally come out eventually, and the producer was the same liberal producer Charlie Sheen torched before leaving 2 1/2 Men. You dont need gaydar to figure this out.
I hope there’s video of faggots being thrown into the backs of police wagons.
The Russian cops should get extra pay for risking infections.
Maybe as characters, but IRL Sheldon, actor Jim Parsons, is as gay as they come.

The conservative trend against is probably a result of observation--how profane and divisive the militant homosexual agenda can be to a society.
I am not for "rounding up" and beating people who behave in an abnormal way...at the same time, we ought not celebrate sodomy or force people to celebrate this behavior.
My thoughts are that homosexuality is one of many things, but it’s really a nail to the coffin, if anything else. First America started embarking on overwhelmingly accepting sex as something totally okay outside of marriage, then more after that fell. By now, it’s also included unsustainable debt, everyone playing blame game on each other for every mishap possible, and who knows what else. At this point, the homosexuality acceptance part is just an attempt at trying to put a band aid on a severed limb to stop the bleeding. IMHO, sometimes it makes me feel like Nick Carraway in the Great Gatsby, where everything is upside down and tied in knots.
IMHO, I don’t feel that a guy or girl on the autistic spectrum having a successful married relationship is shown often enough. Showing that more can give some kinds of people some hope, but that probably just won’t happen while TV is up. Probably from some written blogs and books though. I guess TV has it’s priorities though.
