LGBT fans will be warned about holding hands in public and other outward displays of affection when in Russia for the World Cup next summer. A cautionary guide will be produced by Fare – formerly Football Against Racism in Europe and now a pressure group that campaigns for equality in football – and dispersed to fans travelling to the tournament.

Being gay is not illegal in Russia but the country has a law banning teaching about homosexuality in schools and there are numerous cases where gay people from foreign countries have been attacked because of their sexuality. Alexei Smertin named as Russia’s anti-racism inspector before 2018 World Cup Read more

Piara Powar, executive director of Fare, said:“The guide will advise gay people to be cautious in any place which is not seen to be welcoming to the LGBT community. The same message is there for black and ethnic minority fans – do go to the World Cup but be cautious. If you have gay fans walking down the street holding hands, will they face danger in doing so – that depends on which city they are in and the time of day.

Holding hands is always dangerous.... most people’s hands are covered in fecal bacteria.

Not just Putin, the Russian Federation Majority of citizens, the Duma, a large portion of government bureaucrats, military and police.

It's the Mainstream Media and the Leftist Globalists that are pushing the false narrative that faggots areunfairly prosecuted and persecuted in Russia.

For nearly the entirety of its history, the Soviet Union prosecuted homosexuality as a felony. Silence in the West.

The Russian Federation now restricts the propagation and promotion of homosexuality among children, and treats it as a misdemeanor, and they are the worst thing since Hitler enslaved negroes to build the pyramids without straw. Horse puckey.

More puke thought from the degenerate Transnationale. May God reward them as they deserve.

Equality in football? All soccer players should have equal ability?

That might make for some boring games.

It is going to be a weird World Cup as the USA, Netherlands and Italy are all out. There were always a lot of visitors from these countries. They might have trouble filling the stadiums.
