Putin mocks U.S. embassy for flying rainbow flag

[ThatOwlWoman]

Are we supposed to care?

That's what I was struggling to figure out too. Then I decided that it doesn't matter what it is. If Putin is against it, I'm for it. lol

LOL. Yeah I don't give a fuck what Putin says. If it triggers him, good! But I do have a concern for those gay people who live there.

Same. If the Reichwingers got their way here, we'd enshrine discrimination against them in our law as well.

The American flag is right there in the picture.

yes......now, is there any other flag?.......which should not be flying over an American embassy if it isn't an American flag like I said in my post........

This is what you said: "I have to admit it was pretty stupid to fly any flag over our embassy except the American flag"

The rest of what you said? It was pretty bad taste.

the law prohibits "propaganda' to minors of gay life -it does not restrict being gay or older exposure
The law very much goes along with Russian values ( as previously posted)

I understand. But what propaganda?

I understand. But what propaganda?

proponent of a gay lifestyle.
Homosexuality is considered deviant by most Russians- targeting children with pro-gay agenda is prohibited

Something isn't right here. trump ordered all rainbow flags removed from embassies. Probably at the behest of Putin.

Do you have any example of that?

yes I did......now, what is it about any other flag except the American flag that you are having trouble understanding?......do you see any other flag except the American flag in the picture?........

tell me this, would you feel differently if the other flag was this instead of a rainbow?......

Russian gay propaganda law
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia...propaganda_law
The Russian government's stated purpose for the law is to protect children from being exposed to homosexuality—content presenting homosexuality as being a norm in society—under the argument that it contradicts traditional family values. The statute amended the country's child protection law and the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses, to criminalize the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" among minors.

The American flag is right there besides the LGBT flag in the flag. Look again.
