Why is Russia such a homophobic country?

Because of their society-based communist roots. Mix that with religious bullcrap and you get Russia.

Russia isn't, really. Certain segments of the Russian population are homophobic, and Putin decided to exploit that to deflect attention away from his failings and corruption.

They are not scared, just morally opposed to homosexual propaganda. Russia is a very religious country, all sex is to be inside of a marriage and for the purpose of procreation. What Americans call freedom of religion, others call it heresy. The biased media wants everyone to think that Russians are acting like bigots who are intolerant of gays, however it's the media who should be ridiculed for even attempting to go against Orthodoxy.
