Russia is actually tolerant of people with non-traditional sexual orientations, so long as they don’t target children or flaunt their preferences, President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.
The president made the remarks while addressing visitors to the ‘Strong Ideas for a New Time’ forum, a yearly event organized by Russia’s state-backed Agency of Strategic Initiatives.
“We are quite tolerant towards people with non-traditional sexual orientations. We just don’t flaunt it, and we don’t believe it’s right to flaunt it. Let everyone live – the adults – as they want. Nobody limits them in anything,” Putin stated, explaining that, basically, there are only a handful of rules which limit the LGBTQ community in the country.
As for children, I have already said many times: ‘Don’t touch the children.’ That’s it. This is the first one. And the second one is, we are, first and foremost, a state that is guided by traditional values.
Over the past few years, Russia has gradually tightened its legislation aimed at countering the spread of what it calls “LGBT ideology.” The drive began in 2013, when the dissemination of said propaganda was outlawed among minors.
The ban was reinforced in December 2022, when new legislation introduced major fines for anyone found guilty of promoting “non-traditional sexual relations,” pedophilia, and transgenderism among minors and adults alike.
Late last year, the Supreme Court of Russia outlawed the “international LGBT public movement,” designating it as extremist. The ban stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the Russian Justice Ministry, which asked the top court to do so, arguing that the movement has been involved in “incitements of social and religious discord” as well as exhibiting unspecified “extremist traits.”
The extremist designation has been harshly criticized by multiple rights groups in the West, which have argued that it is “absurd” and vague, and that it has had a “catastrophic” effect on the LGBTQ community in Russia. The inclusion of any group in Russia’s “extremist organizations” list effectively bans all of their activities and outlaws all of their associated symbols.

As the mother of a gay son, I support the Russian policy. My son grew up in a traditional family, he came out in college. He was not persecuted by his family, he was embraced. He contributes to society, and lives quietly with his partner of 8 years. He and his partner support President Trump.
As a gay guy, I endorse this message.
i honestly wish i knew whether Putin was a WH or BH because if he truly is a WH, i'd be moving to Russian. i just want a simple life, with my Christian beliefs and my children to grow up without having the government and teachers shoving this ungodly crap down their throats.
Putin has declared 2024 to be the "Year of the Family."
Moving to Russia is not as easy. For one, you need to learn Russian. I.e. the exact opposite of moving to this country.
Also they did have mandatory vax unfortunately. Not the mrna poisons but still. They had their own version, but mandatory vax is still a black mark.
There are still some states in the US that have some sort of freedom and are probably better than Russia, but overall, at the federal level, it's night & day.
Russia today is how the US was in the 80s, minus the yuppee crap that morphed into banksters.
I KNOW in my heart that Putin is a great guy, a WH.
But I don't learn other languages well and I LOVE the Cali Coast climate.
In other words, Be who you are but keep it to yourself Don't try to indoctrinate us with your BS. Don't touch our children. Hide your flags, we don't want to see them. Period.
In contrast, it shows how far the US has gone down the gay rabbit hole.

"The biggest achievement of the devil was to convince the world that he does not exist."
Infiltration, not invasion.
Far too many Americans, Europeans, Canadians and Australians are unaware that the LGBTQI is simply one column of the march of cultural Marxism, and has one purpose only: to destroy the foundation of the West, which is God and Family.
Everything else is window dressing.

Isn't that a line from "Usual Suspects"?
Or is it actually biblical?
It's not biblical in the sense that it is found anywhere in scripture.
Not sure about the Usual Suspects.
I would say that its simply a truism that has emerged in the context of Marxism and the Communist Manifesto, wherein the devil promulgated a philosophy that itself denies the existence of God and therefor Satan as the basis for ushering in the most satanic system of thought and control in history.
Did you watch the video? I think its worthwhile.
Which video?
The rumble link I posted for you.
Did you not realize that this is a video? There are about 17 videos that I think are on my "must not miss" list, including of course Patriot Joe's "The Plan".
But this one, which has been routinely removed, reposted, removed, reposted to youtube is also one. If you understand the content, it sheds a LOT of light on the entire cultural war situation, its origins, and directions.

Got it. Thanks.
if you watch it and are interested, let me know what you think.
Learning about the background to cultural marxism was one of the really big red pills for me back in 2015. Suddenly, all the nonsense going on out there made some sense.
I just figured out why the Democrats hate Putin….
I think Putin knows what time it is:
Putin signs ban on U.S. adoptions of Russian children - December 28, 201211:53 AM PST https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE8BQ06K/
Age of consent is 16 years old.
Ex-Marxists know exactly what Marxism is and how it works.
Good
Putin threats are taken seriously. He has no apprehension with killing someone.
Do you have proof he takes out people? I've only heard if from MSM, which, nobody really trusts anymore.
Im sure Putin has killed some enemies and im perfectly fine with it. Protecting your country's traditionas & values are crucial to national security, institutional integrity, strong economy and happiness. Case in point when they are not protected: The US of A as we sit today. NOTHING should be off limits in terms of punishments for those radicals/marxists/communists that seek to destroy our traditions, values and way of life, including death. Good for Putin.
All governments make people dissappear
But MSM really likes to paint Putin as the guy who does it all the time.
Why do you care what MSM says? Stop reading it or listening - it will rot your brain.
anon is not advocating for MSM. He's pointing out what MSM does.
