For gays and lesbians, war-monger Putin has only contempt. His methods: were intimidation, arrests, imprisonment, and labor camps.

Moscow - Russian President Vladimir Putin (70) has issued a decree to defend the country against threats from "gay propaganda" and other states.

Pictures like these likely severely anger Kremlin tyrant Vladimir Putin and intensify his rage against homosexuals. The photo shows a demonstrator in the Hungarian capital Budapest.

For example, the decree, signed by the Kremlin chief on Wednesday, emphasizes the importance of "traditional values as the foundation of Russian society." Moscow must take "urgent measures" to ward off threats from terrorist organizations, "certain mass media," as well as from the United States and "other unfriendly foreign states," he said.

It also said that the country's "traditional values" must be defended against threats from "certain organizations and people on Russian soil."

These could carry "foreign" thoughts into society and "cause the destruction of the traditional family unit" with propaganda for non-traditional sexual relations.

The new law should also affect adults.

The Russian parliament is currently discussing an expansion of the 2013 law that bans "LGBTQ propaganda" directed at minors. The law is now even to be extended to adults.

Meaning: Any mention of same-sex couples will be banned in Russia in the future!

LGBTQ is the abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer.

A representative of the Russian Orthodox Church welcomed the decree. It would "protect our people and our children from defilement," senior cleric Fyodor Lukyanov, 55, told the state news agency Tass.

For homosexuals, Putin's slam-dunk decree would have further consequences: In the first few years after the first "propaganda" law was passed in 2013, there was a sharp increase in brutal acts of violence against LGBTQ. Moreover, in recent months, the Russian government has already classified several queer organizations as "international agents" and partially dissolved them.
