It's getting kind of hectic in Russia. The lower house of parliament passed a bill that bans the distribution of information about the LGBT community to children.
Here's more:
More than two dozen protesters were attacked by anti-gay activists and then detained by police, hours before the State Duma approved the Kremlin-backed legislation in a 436-0 vote.
The bill banning "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations"bill still needs to be passed by the appointed upper house and signed into law by President Vladimir Putin, but neither step is in doubt.
The measure is part of an effort to promote traditional Russian values as opposed to Western liberalism, which the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church see as corrupting Russian youth and contributing to the protests against Putin's rule.source
The only parliament member to abstain was Ilya Ponomaryov, who has supported the protest movement to the aggravation of the leadership of his pro-Kremlin party.

Russia has a lot of rick Black history. With the racist skinheads running the streets and chopping up homeless people this is no surprise to me. Putin needs to come on out the closet and get a better face lift.
