“By adopting such laws,” the seven-judge panel of the court added, “the authorities had reinforced stigma and prejudice and encouraged homophobia, which was incompatible with the values of a democratic society.”
Russia is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights, and the court, which is charged with interpreting the treaty that took effect in 1953, has often castigated Russia. The ruling is binding, but as with much else in international law, enforcement is more a matter of norms than decrees.
“The laws on the ban of propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations among minors did not contradict international practice and were aimed at defending children’s morality and health,” the Russian Justice Ministry said in a statement. “The laws did not impose any measures that would ban homosexuality or condemn it officially. They were not discriminatory.”
The “gay propaganda law,” as it became known, is actually a series of statutes introduced at regional levels in 2003 and 2006 and at the federal level in 2013, that essentially proscribes public mention of homosexuality.
In particular, the 2013 law banned “the promoting of nontraditional sexual relationships among minors” and “creating a distorted image of the social equivalence of traditional and nontraditional sexual relationships.”
Critics said the law’s very wording promoted insidious stereotypes that gay people promote a “homosexual lifestyle,” or even worse, prey on children.

why are russians so afraid of gay people? I suspect its because .ost of them are closeted themselves. Regardless I feel russias economy should be wrecked unti they recognize the universal.human right to gay marriage

It's not illegal to be gay in Russia, it's illegal to be a faggot.

>EU court finds Russian laws are discriminatory And what is the EU going to do about it?
Zachary Hughes
This, if anything the Russian law needs to be exported everywhere. Fucking degenerate faggots are pushing their sick fetish on children.
I don't mind gay people at all desu. But everything about them I see on TV is a fucking degeneracy. Picrelated is the only gay character from US series I've seen who wasn't a sex addict or a complete faggot
Grayson Martinez
>law’s very wording promoted insidious stereotypes that gay people promote a “homosexual lifestyle,”
Well if they don't promote it they shouldn't have a problem with not being allowed to do it right?
Mason Cruz
So what? The Constitutional Court of Russia withdrew Russia from the jurisdiction of the ECHR.
The second amendment "for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values" to the law on "Federal Law of Russian Federation no. 436-FZ of 2010-12-23 “On Protection of Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development” also recognized as constitutional.

Reminder: Pic related is the reason why said law was enacted.
Julian Green
The problem isn't the law itself, but how liberally it can be applied, that anything could be classified as propaganda. We have plenty of those, so I kinda feel bad for fags. Hold you partner's hand = gay propaganda = criminal offence. In the same vein as jailing people for liking posts on vk for under the "offending the religious feelings" or "promoting separatism" laws. While the church conducts hostile takeovers of state property, people are afraid to speak out under the threat of imprisonment. So it's just another law to beat any dissenting opinions out of the population.

Of course it's discriminatory. Even Putin would about that. That's the point.
Jackson Lee
No, the idea of human rights comes from white people and is a good idea if it's used in our favour. Jews have a habit of hijacking good ideas and using those ideas to disadvantage us. We could use the concept of human rights to expose the white genocide agenda to the masses, for example.
Brayden Reyes
Good finally a western country who force that mess out of society. Kids shouldn't be exposed to that.
Cameron King
>an european court dictating the culture of other countries >a culture democratically deciding against homos is incompatible with the values of a democratic society.
I am kind enough to give them the benefit of the doubt and call them retarded instead of insanely corrupt, but holy shit.
Lucas Ortiz
why do westerners keep thinking that they define what is normal?
why do you keep thinking that you have some moral highground to tell us what to do?
The only thing this law made illegal is telling children to be gay. Everything else is okay, fags are not opressed in any way here regardless how the western lying media would like it to be.
Russia is a civilised country which respects human rights, remember it, faggots.
Nicholas Cox
and what are they gonna do about it? tell mommy mr putin is a bully? fucking hell europeans are delusional

Gays holding hands in public or simply holding a sign saying "I am gay" can be arrested. If you hold a sign that says "I am straight" you cannot be arrested. Neither sign affects children.
Easton Perez
>claim homosexuals need sexual propaganda access to children in court >rule that you need access to children based on the fact that depriving you of it creates a stereotype As if you don't prove yourself to be pedophiles by opposing this law faggot.

This. Russia's nuclear weapons trump the shitty (((European Court of Human Rights))).
Cooper Williams
>Critics said the law’s very wording promoted insidious stereotypes that gay people promote a “homosexual lifestyle,” or even worse, prey on children. (((Critics))) who conveniently ignore the fact that most homosexuals actually get their introduction into that world from an older homosexual, and that organizations like NAMBLA exist.
No thanks. I don't see how encouraging LGBT in children younger, than say 14, isn't criminal sexual abuse. Can my daughter have slut pride at eight years old? Can I get her pussy pierced?
Julian Stewart

Right. Because beating people with whips and throwing them in labor camps for protesting is civilized.

You are trying to say that gay couples and straight are equivalent. They are not.

Wyatt White
Sorry to double post - but i have a prediction. A while couple (who knows their gender or orientation) will pull some stuff like this on an adopted black child and blacks will strike back. Demand segregation, helter skelter, etc. The only bloc with more potential energy than fags is blacks. God bless them for something at least.

Great idea Liberace just starve them out and destroy the livelihood of millions until they accept your fetish and canonise every fag in Russia for being brave enough to suck cock and take a flesh flute in his anal passage.
Noah King
>Because beating people with whips and throwing them in labor camps for protesting is civilized The Gulags are long gone schlomo, Russia only sentences maximum security prisoners to hard labour, you know, much like 37 US states. Mississippi and a few other states even take their slave labor to the next level and profit off it, making the Russians actually look like they have the moral (non-kike) high ground.
