Russian religious activists have demanded Facebook be banned in the country over “gay propaganda” among minors and have launched a campaign to criminalize homosexuality.
The scandal erupted earlier this month after the popular social networking website introduced same-sex marriage status icons: one depicting two brides, the other two grooms.
“We demand only one thing: Facebook should be blocked in the entire country because it openly popularizes homosexuality among minors.”
“The US goal is that Russians stop having children. They want the great nation to turn into likeness of Sodom and Gomorrah.”
“But I am confident that Russian laws and reasonable citizens will be able to protect their children from a fierce attack of sodomites.”

Yeah, I'm confident as well, unfortunately.The whole Russkieland has been going to hell in a handcart for the last ten years,Having reached a level of Racism,Hatred,Xenophobia and intolerance That American conservatives can only dream about.And I live next door to these freaks.
"Russian religious activists have demanded Facebook be banned in the country"
Yeah, that will work well in a country of hackers.

I bet pounds to rubles that Vladimir Poo-tin (who loves to play political 'Musical Chairs'; that's not what Democracy is all about, Comrade! Why does the US limit it's leaders to just two terms, again...?!) has - like Barack Obama - relied on the internet for his political campaigns. And Obama is one of the biggest promoters of Net Neutrality out there.
...so good luck with that, Russian Orthodox fundies.

The first bastion of the bigot: censorship. If your idea can't survive the eternal scrutiny and competition of free speech then maybe your idea isn't worth shit. I, as an atheist social liberal do not fear people challenging my beliefs (or lack thereof).
The US goal is that Russians stop having children.
The US fundies hate homosexuals as much as you do. They too get their panties in a twist when they see ads for gay people or, worse yet, a gay couple.
Ah, yes, the same old "if they're tolerant of homosexuality then they're aggressively trying to force everyone to become gay" argument. Can't give an inch, because those filthy gays will take a mile. Homophobes are the same the world over.
It was letting in Friedman economics and virulent racism against citizens of the former Soviet republics that decimated Russia, not letting a couple of people who'd probably not have had children anyway live together as a couple. RT is the most yellow-journalism newswork I've ever seen outside of Fox, and if Mr. Roslyakovsky is so threatened by an icon, I wonder if he saw that video of Yevgenii Belyaev performing Kalinka with the Red Army Choir and it made him...uncomfortable.
The 'fierce attack of the sodomites' consists of such aggressive behaviour as applying for the right to a stage a protest march.http://english.pravda.ru/

Don't think I need to add anything to that.
Uh huh, because if you don't start acting like the Nazis your people hated, and still hate to this day, every single person in Russia will magically turn into a flaming queen and stop reproducing. Riiight, wait right there, will you? I need to have a word with Nurse Ratchet...
Well, looks like you've exposed it. Yes, Facebook was created and became widely popular in America so that years later, gay marriage icons could be added and stop Russians from having babies. Darn, you're too smart for us. Guess we better shut it down. Someone let Zuckerberg know, 'kay?
The great leader should be able to make this happen without too much bother.
Of course it is such a blanket measure that it will also cut Russia off from other cultures, and other cultures off from Russian. A great pity.
You know, Vladimir, I don't think you've even read your religion's holy book, because if you did you'd know that Sodom and Gomorrah weren't destroyed because of homosexuality.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."
Since you can't even get your own religion right you can shut the fuck up about gay people forever.
attack of sodomites
For anyone who has seen the movie "College" (terrible movie, by the way), when i hear "attack of sodomites" all i can think of is the glow in the dark boner tag scene from that movie. or maybe that was a different movie...
Statist, totalitarian Christians that want to ban the Internet and suppress free speech?
Stalin and Kim Jong Il eat your hearts out!
I gotta laugh whenever somebody plays the 'Think of the children' card.
There are people who think about children. They think about children a lot. People like Jerry Sandusky.
Still wanna play that card?
The US plan was to make Russia go bankrupt and overthrow its communist leaders which, you may note, has already happened .
So, yeah. Little late there, guys.
"We demand only one thing: Facebook should be blocked in the entire country"
Oh, that's all? Well, that's OK then.
So, let me get this straight. You want to ban Facebook, not because it's creepy and big brotherish, but because your teenagers use it to share pro-gay photos and stuff, like teenagers tend to do, because teenagers are in a stage of life wherein they are discovering sexuality and what it means for them? Not because it's creepy and big brotherish? Not even a little bit that? It's all just the teenagers and the gay stuff?
Dude, get your priorities straight.

Straight Russian people start making love more! It's not that hard! Any Russian who is worried about this and isn't out procreating is a hypocrite. <<
If the number of Russian children is really Roslyakovsky's concern and he's not simply having a severe 'gays are icky' reaction, then he would be advocating against abortion (the abortion rate in Russia is currently ~50% of all pregnancies - they really need better access to contraceptives).

? ??????? ????? :D
Edit: Wow, this site seems to have a problem with Cyrillic script >_><<
It doesn't do Hebrew or Japanese either. So disappointing.
"The US goal is that Russians stop having children."
Damn Mark Zuckerberg for not being born several decades earlier than he was. We could have avoided the whole Cold War if someone had just come out with these sooner, and prompted all the Soviets to become gay so they would stop having children!
image Of course, Vladimir seems to believe only Russians can be turned gay by looking at these little guys, so what does that say about him? Do they make him horny?
"Facebook should be blocked in the entire country because it openly popularizes homosexuality among minors."
Popularizing a sexual orientation makes no sense, because they're *inherent* and *unchangeable*. No matter how cool a straight kid thinks it is that there are openly gay people in the media, he or she cannot become gay. The straight men and women of your country are in no danger of suddenly not enjoying having sex with each other.
"They want the great nation to turn into likeness of Sodom and Gomorrah"
Learn about the Bible. The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was INHOSPITALITY.
@Madbull:
You reminded me of this bash.org quote ^^"
<jaffa> think of the children!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
