Russia: MP calls for law allowing gays to be whipped in public squares
August 7, 2013 at 6:07 pm
Just had to post.
Quote:A Russian MP has reportedly called for the right of marines to whip gay people in public.
Alexander Mikhailov is deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Trans-Baikal Parliament and said he plans to put forward the violent proposal as a new regional law.http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/06/20/rus...c-squares/

It's weird how homophobes always suggest the gayest possible punishment for homosexuality.
My ignore list

Why Marines? Sailors too much a gamble?
Seriously, the schmuck needs a cell prepared for him at the Hague. What a dick.

It's not that innovative. Muslim countries have sodomy as criminal charges, I don't remember any cases of sodomy being charged when I was back there, hmm. Except for one politician but he was framed (long bloody story).

Yeah, but most Muslim countries are theocracies or at least allow Sharia law to be enacted on their watch. Russia, as far as I know, doesn't. And of course, there is no justification, govt. approved or otherwise, that makes this anything less than criminal.

No of course it's criminal. I just don't think it's a very feasible law to enforce and I rather doubt that Russia will manage to enforce it. All that will happen is gays will learn to be very careful about being taped in the act. And you must be very irrational to even allow a law like that to stand. It's unproductive, it's hard to enforce, the money you put into it doesn't pay off in a anyway.
I come from a country that once banned yellow shirts. No kidding. Politicians say things like these all the time, it's posturing, stupid laws don't last long, unless they're not enforced at all, like sodomy and stuff, only used for political play.

And people wonder why eastern Finns get drunk and hide out in the forest bordering Russia with shotguns.. 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
