Vladimir Putin Officially Banned Same-Sex Marriage In Russia. Right Wing rejoyces.

[Joe Capitalist]

With the stroke of a pen, Russian President Vladimir Putin formally enacted a series of anti-LGBTQ+ amendments banning marriage equality and transgender adoptions, and centering “a belief in God” as a core value of the country. The homophobic and transphobic amendments were passed last July in a national referendum, with over 77 percent of voters casting their ballots in support of the measures. According to a report in the AP, the new rules also reset Putin’s term limits as president, meaning he can serve an additional two six-year terms in office.

The amendments passed by voters and signed into law by Putin specifically ban marriage equality and adoption by transgender folks. The amendments were highly popular with the socially conservative Russian populace. Religious themes play an important role in society in the nation and often drive anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments.

The Right Wing has their Utopia. Move to Russia.

I don't know why the radical right wing doesn't like democracy. Maybe because their King Trump prefers dicatorships over democracy.

I asked YOU. Can you answer the question? Or do you just not like what the answer is?

Let's see... On the subject of gay marriage, the LGBTPDQRSTUV community put it on the ballot in 35 states and got shot down every time, including California. Democracy spoke loud and clear. The LGBTPDQ'ers then went to court, shopped judges, and got those elections and ballot measures overturned to make gay marriage legal. Seems to me they used a judicial dictatorship to get their way, not democracy...

And with a packed SCOTUS ... It will get worse.

Everything else is window dressing to pander to social conservatives in the State Orthodox church.

Russian society is much more conservative then the decedent west

Wow, the Alt Right is really coming out of the closet with their support for the Russians.

Either way, Dukkha is insulting America, but I assume he meant to say decadent(morally decayed), and not decedent(a dead person). Not only does "decadent" make more sense from his general intent, it can be used as an adjective to describe the west, while "decedent" would be a noun, and could not describe the west(another noun).
