Why is Russia a homophobic country?

They are intelligent (they know that accepting homosexuality will eventually lead to the degradation of morals and destruction of traditional family and russian culture...like in the US) and they are getting pissed with all the gay stuff being shoved down their throats by EU, Hollywood, US, NGOs, violent feminists and militant gay activists. I applaud the Russians for standing up for normality.

The bill is about tightening judgment (this mean that prohibition was previously) for propaganda homosexuality to teenagers. This law prohibits push children to homosexuality, but don't to tell about this vile phenomenon.

I recommend believe to more reliable sources.

Many Russians are not only Christian, but I think its because they didn't have the cultural shift in the way people perceived homosexuality and stuff that other countries experienced within the last 5 decades. While there were openly gay people in like America and the UK, in Russia, it was all USSR, promotion of traditional family values (including being a faithful Christian) ect.

I think that if ur parents grew up in that kind of environment, the same attitude is going to rub off on the younger generations too.

However, many young Russians today, who are more connected (Or 'Westernized' as some may say), meaning they're exposed to different ideas and people.

All Russians I know are tolerant of gay people, transsexuals, ect.

...Its only when you get on the internet that people claim gay people are 'vulgar' and 'a degradation of society' because they feel like their beliefs are threatened, and it goes against the values that they were raised by. It's ok for them to have their own opinion and to voice it, its just when they say gay people are evil and stuff, when there's not much scientific research to confirm that statement upon really...

Because pederasty is a sin.

Do whatever you want in your bedroom but I don't want perverts march on the streets.

Peace be with you.

According to Bible The God does not like gays too. It is so pleasure to be in good company.

maybe they are just not keen on sodomy and buggery as kindergarten subjects

Because we don't want debauchery and vulgarity.
