Russia Says It Will Arrest Openly Gay Tourists


 
Thinking of taking a vacation to Europe this summer? If a trip to iconic city of Moscow or the edgier St. Petersburg is on your bucket list, an anti-gay law recently passed in Russia may have you thinking again. It is now outlawed to be ‘out and proud.’

In a throwback to the country’s authoritarian ruling, Russian president Vladimir Putin has signed a controversial law that punishes people for “homosexual propaganda.” The law fines people—including tourists—up to 200,000 rubles ($6,240 CDN) for “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations.” For Canadians—where same-sex marriage is legal—it is unfathomable that Russia’s laws permit the government to arrest and detain gay, or pro-gay, foreigners for up to 14 days before they would then be expelled from the country.

---

According to Voice of Russia, any display of affection between same-sex couples could cause a “distorted understanding” that gay relations and heterosexual relations are socially equivalent, and risk spreading Western liberalism. Putin claims the law doesn’t discriminate against LGBT people, but rather—in an argument riddled with faulty logic—is there to “protect children from pedophilia.”

---

And how are these new laws going to impact tourism and the world’s spotlight on the upcoming 2014 Winter Games in Sochi? Will LGBT visitors—or anyone who embraces the gay community—want to visit the games? While Russia’s laws stigmatize and target the gay community, Brazil’s Ministry of Tourism is working to encourage the LGBT community to visit. Brazil, which is hosting the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, as well as the 2014 World Cup.

That turned into a big fire. All kinds of ideas of how to "put it to Putin".
I haven't seen that much outrage since they discovered  muzzie controlled countries kill their turd burglars.  :whatever: :whistling:

Oh my God, those people over there (DU).  They're exhausting, how can they stand each other?  Someone said something lame and attached the sarcasm icon.  Someone else got all butthurt over it, and squabbling ensued, with long, offended, un-readable posts.

You know, there was once the idea of the "Ugly American," who strutted around foreign places as if he owned them, and could do whatever he wanted, no matter the sensibilities of the natives.

I didn't think the primitives were fond of ugly Americans.

Has it ever occurred to them that Russians might not care for flaming gays?

Never mind whether it's right or wrong, or the "why" of it; it's just a stark fact that Russians don't care for it.

And since it's their terrain, their sensibilities should be respected.

<<<has always respected the mores and standards prevalent in a foreign area, even if thought they were ridiculous.

Not so fast. For just a few dollars more they could catch a connecting flight to Iran.

What we need is to set up Gay Pride parade vacations to Russia. The LGBLTs (hold the lettuce) will swarm like lemmings on their own dime. We must suppress the fact that  the Russians aren't tolerant of gays, at least until we get them all over there. If we can do that, they will self deport, and maybe with luck never return. Then we will see how far America hating gets the LGBLTs (hold the lettuce).

I don't think it's gays per se that has Putin's feathers all a flutter.  I think it's how strong and effective their lobby and activism  has been.  Putin has seen how such a small percentage of society can upset the apple cart.

This isn't going to win me any friends here, but in my personal, private opinion, Vladimir Putin is exactly the sort of leader the Russians need, and perhaps the best leader of Russia since God was a boy.

And this is something I know much much better than the cousin does.

I think a better idea is for the athletes to go and wear pro-gay clothing. Shove it right in Pootie's face.

Turn the games into a big gay party.

How are you doing Pootie?  Oh, I'm super!  Thanks for asking!  Why don't you come on down to Big Gay Al's Big Gay Athlete Party?
