Russian Anti-gay laws and violence, and the Olympic (Winter) Games.

You are mistaking indifference for hostility.

I don't believe I am mistaking anything.

Indifference when gay people are tortured fits the "completely unacceptable and barbaric"-label neatly. Indifference which results in gays have reduced rights in society also fits well.

I read an interview with the Russian ambassador to Norway about a week ago. It was utterly hilarious. He acted like he didn't know that what he said is what we found unacceptable(making it illegal to portray gays positively), and kept saying "nono, you don't understand" all the time. Not sure if he's a robot or an idiot though.


Russia isn't a society with "traditional, christian values" like they love to say. This law makes it perfectly clear that Russia in 2013 is a backwards country with barbaric and retarded values.
