It is legal to speak in favor of gay rights. It is illegal for adults to speak in favor of gay rights TO MINORS. Much like it is legal to have sex. And illegal for adults to have sex with minors.

The law is explained in detail here: http://gallery.mailchimp.com/d0e55f3197099944345708652/files...

Did you just compare a minor being told that homosexuality is okay to having sex with an adult?

And as I've said earlier, that basically prevents any public promotion.

The logical structure of the two arguments is the same.

I don't want my kids to be exposed to public promotion of any sexual lifestyle. In fact I don't even want them to see a blurred photo of Kim Kardashian's naked butt on TV.

LGBT community can rent out a conference center and hold the rally there, advertising it publicly and denying minors access to the premises. This is perfectly legal under today's LGBT laws in Russia.

It doesn't matter what you want your kids exposed to... because there are activists who are working with politicians in most Western countries to totally change sex educations classes.

For example, in the UK, teachers are to tell kids as young as 13, which is below the age of consent:

"normal behaviour includes taking an interest in pornography, having sexually explicit conversations, using the internet to chat online and consenting to oral or penetrative sex with the same or opposite gender."

Or kids as young as 9:

" So-called “green behaviours” are defined as those that “reflect safe and healthy sexual development”. For children aged nine to 13, green behaviours include “solitary masturbation” and “use of sexual language”."

But can they kiss in public? Or hold hands, even?
