Russia may soon ban gay men from coming out

Believe it or not, Russia may become even more homophobic than it already is if two Russian politicians get their way.

On January 19th, the State Duma will vote on legislation that would make it illegal for gay men to come out of the closet.

The law was proposed by trolls Ivan Nikitchuk and Nikolai Arefyev (pictured above). If passed, any man who comes out or acts on his gay feelings in public (such as kissing another man) would get 15 days in jail. A fine of 5,000 rubles (about $80 US) is also possible.

Lesbians are exempt from the bill, because Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dummer have decided that women are more "reasonable" and can "manage their emotions."

"We have our own idea of honor and conscience, and we must respect tradition. The scum that comes to us from the West is unnatural to Russia. These unconventional sexual desires do nothing but disgust normal, smart, healthy people," Nikitchuk said.

"It is sick that disgusting people feel they should be treated the same."

Currently there is a law in Russia banning the promotion of homosexuality to young people. The law, insisted Nikitchuk, is simply not "effective" enough.

Maybe we could work out some sort of exchange program; we get all the gay Russians and Russia gets our homophobes.
