US Senator Condemns Russia’s Gay Laws as Calls for Boycott Grow
http://en.rian.ru/ ^ | 08/16/2013 | Maria Young

The newest US senator on Capitol Hill took aim at the Russian government this week, condemning what he called the country’s “hateful” new law on homosexuality, and asking Russia’s Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak for assurances that American athletes and tourists at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games will be safe.

The law bans the promotion of “non-traditional relationships” toward minors, a move that has outraged the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community and its supporters in the United States and elsewhere. Proponents say it shields children from harmful influences.

Sad to consider that a major political party in this nation has as its biggest claims to fame the relaxing of homosexuality from almost all previous legal restraints and being in love with a medical? procedure that results in the virtual murder of unborn children.
and they actually claim to be proud of this.

He isn’t from Mass. He lives in Chevy Chase, MD. He only comes back to Mass to run for office and the “D” behind his name guarantees that the dumbasses in Mass will elect him.

The really sad thing about the pit of hell called Massacbusetts is that Gomez probably wouldve done the same thing

In Russia they discourage homosexual pedophilia. Here in ‘the land of the free’ we tolerate NAMBLA. What’s wrong with this picture ?

Many moons ago, when the then “smartest man in the world” ruled the US.. (Jimmie Carter) the US boycotted the USSR, which caused a massive depression to American grain producers, shippers, a huge downslide in farmland prices, etc.

Please, Mr MOTU, let’s not repeat history!

I wonder when this champion of “gay” rights is going to demand that the U.N. get involved and force Russia to celebrate the fudge packers?

When are we (USA) going to go after Muslin countries for their laws against Gayness?

Please excuse me for this, after I ranted at the grammar police. I assume you were typing fast or have the same crappy wireless keyboard as I do, you meant muslim right? The answer is never because our muzzi in residence is trying to tear apart muslim countries. His greatest ambition is to destroy Christian countries, America first and foremost.

Markey is a uber lib and the people of MA once again proved how clueless they are.

I call it the Kennedy syndrome. They were brainwashed by K's and can't seem to stand a mainstream legislator---"Do you know who I am" Kerry;" let 'er drown" Teddy; "let's stick Russia in the eye for gays" Markey--all cut from the same cloth.

I find it horribly unworthy of a US senator to worry about homosexual feelings in Russia when he should be getting to the bottom of Benghazi, IRS, US SPYING (ON US), SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS, MAKING LAWS; RACIAL DIVIDE ON PURPOSE----the list goes on, and so do the mental derangement of Dems..

Russia is returning to sanity, after the long nightmare of entrenched Marxist folly. In the process they are reawakening to the faith of their fathers--or great grandfathers.

Let us hope that we can return to a more God-fearing America, without having to go through the long nightmare to wake up.

Unless they have set out purposefully to do this while in Russia, none of the Olypmic athletes need concern themselves with this law. Sounds like the homo/pervert lobby is upset because the athletes won't be able to try to recruit younger athletes to the homo/pervert "lifestyle".

I really don’t think Putin gives a damn what anyone in the US thinks about his country’s laws.

I really don’t.

America needs to stop policing the world. Anything short of torturing and murdering children, is none of our business.

Why do I get the feeling that the homos will demand military action against Russia?
