I don't care what people do in their bedrooms, but liberalizing Russia to have San Fransisco style gays on the street goes against every fiber of Russian culture. No one here cares if someone is gay, many stars, fashion gurus, and stylists are gay and we don't care. Paraders and Rights activists are pushing the lower morals of sexuality and selfishness over family and community. Bedroom matters should ALWAYS remain in the bedroom. Gays don't need rights, they have human rights. These are just Western ways of destroying culture and identity which leads to selfishness and self fulfillment over community. Moscow is decaying into this Westernized world. Doesn't surprise me on bit with Moscow having very few people of morals to defend Russia from such a thing. Once Moscow goes, they'll systematically attempt on other regions. It happened in the USA systematically destroying families since the 1950's.

I totally agree with Artyom on this matter. What happens in their bedroom is their private life and should stay in their bedroom. I have nothing against gay people, but having a gay parade in Moscow is simply against every Russian culture. People just do not understand what will happen to those who will, actually, go out on the streets and demonstrate their love towards the same sex! Have they never seen what happens during every VDV celebration or what? I doubt that anyone will come out alive out of that demonstration. Again, I will repeat myself, I have nothing against gay people, but there is not need what so ever to have a gay parade. Why, anyways, are there gay parades? Why straight people are not demonstrating as well?
