Sorry but Putin is still a Communist.
The Russian state has always prohibited homosexuality, even during Soviet times. In fact, you could be sent away to Siberia if you were homosexual during the USSR.
“Sorry but Putin is still a Communist”
Quite an odd type of communist there. Busily rebuilding the Churches destroyed in the Soviet era, warning us not to go down the socialist past they experienced and suffered through, likes a flat tax, likes a gold currency so people can’t pay in a fiat currency and inflate it away until its worthless, likes selling oil and gas and being rich, encourages the traditional family, and making “The Gulag Archipeligo” required reading for school kids.
That’s some deep cover operation there. Putin is indeed a strongman, he is not a friend of American interests, and he is a hard nationalist, but it’s laughable to describe him as a communist. What he is is a very tough competitor who will always push for his own interests, and will only be friendly to ours when they coincide with his. And the fact that we are pro-sunni, pro al qeida, and working to undermine his country through cultural rot and pro EU economics means we have fallen into conflict.

I’m not sure if it is any related to a topic but prior to WWII sodomy was outlawed in most civilized nations.
Soviets actually pioneered in both legalizing and celebrating homosexuality along with an abortion and other deviances, brought it into their media and arts in 1920s but it was for a very brief period of time until earlier 1930s.
