Human Rights organizations from around the world are supporting Russia’s effort to protect children from homosexual propaganda.

A statement from civil society affirms the recently enacted Russian law, which imposes fines on individuals and groups that promote homosexuality among minors, as important steps towards fulfilling international obligations towards the family and minors.

A Russian pro-family sign Organizations from around the world are “rushing” to offer their support according to Profesionales por la Etica, the Spain-based organization coordinating the effort.

In just one week, 71 organizations have offered their support.

Russia is protecting “genuine and universally recognized human rights against artificial and fabricated false values” like sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the statement.

The statement recognizes the Russian law as an effort to protect the family, the fundamental group unit of society. The law is about protecting the “innocence of children” and the “rights of parents,” it reads.

The Russian Duma adopted the law almost unanimously in the spring. It has sparked international debate about whether countries may curb the freedom of speech of individuals and groups in order to protect minors from information that could be harmful to their health and development.

Wow. A government that believes in protecting the innocence of children and the rights of parents. Reminds me of what our country used to be like until about the time of the Clinton Administration.

The law protects children. End of story.

I suspect the real children’s rights groups have figured they will be sold out to the gay mafia by the leftists, so they seek to prevent the undermining of the Russian law and policy, the only place that can stand against Sodomite judges, lawyers and UN.

Every nation except the U.S. understands why you don’t allow gay men to camp out with young boys or sex offenders to babysit their children. Well let me rephrase that; the onservatives understand why you don’t allow it but the gay perverts want to mandate policies that allow them to do disgusting sexual acts to your children then berate you for not being tolerant or sue you for not baking a homo wedding cake.
