Being gay -so long as nobody knows about it, from an investigators point of view, is indistinguishable from being hetero. So yeah, it's about as anti-gay as it gets. So they don't stone queers in Russia, or whatever the fuck bigots are doing to people they don't like - good for them, glad to see they've taken the high road.
You can be gay in public, you can't propagate non-traditional relationships to minors, that's what the law says. Of course that doesn't mean society will accept you being gay, probably people would insult you in public for holding hands with a same sex partner and some would beat you up. But it's not as extreme as uganda's anti gay law
