Russia is trying to protect their children. The US should pass the same laws to protect our children. Russia is the last country in Europe that still defends traditional views that a man cannot be a woman and a woman cannot be a man.

"Russian lawmakers pass bill banning 'propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations'
Opponents say will deprive L**T people of right to freedom of expression.
Russian lawmakers gave preliminary approval Thursday to a bill that imposes tough new restrictions on activities to promote L***Q rights in the country.
A 2013 Russian law banned what authorities deem to be the "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" to children. It has been used to stifle debate in any public context and to prevent demonstrations or any public gatherings with pro-L***Q content that a child could conceivably see or hear.
International human rights groups denounced the law for creating a hostile environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, t*********r and q***r Russians.
The new bill, which the lower house of Russia's parliament unanimously approved on the first of three readings, ramps up the restrictions and expands the presentation ban to cover all age groups, not just the under-18 population.
It outlaws advertising, media and online resources, books, films and theater productions deemed to contain such propaganda.
With regards to minors, the new bill broadens the existing restrictions by banning information about g****r t***sitions.
Violations are punishable by fines, and, if committed by non-residents, could lead to their expulsion from Russia.
State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said the proposed bill could be toughened further during on second reading, when lawmakers introduce their amendments.
Marie St***hers, Amnesty International’s director for eastern Europe and central Asia, reacted to the bill's preliminary approval by saying that "in Russia’s new era of repression, state-sanctioned homophobia is about to be ramped up to a whole new level."
The bill "not only brazenly deprives (L***Q) people of their right to freedom of expression and endorses their discrimination, but will likely also lead to an increase in violent attacks and other h**e crimes against them," she said.
If enacted, the law would have far-reaching effects and likely lead to the closing of non-governmental groups, the blocking of websites and the intimidation of activists with the threat of large fines, according to St***hers.
"The passing of this new law will be yet another disaster for human rights," she said."

That's too funny, Canuckus.
Was that series of pictures compiled for an e******n campaign in a bygone era?
I remember seeing a few of those old pictures in bygone decades when the news still had a smidgen of integrity.

Beautiful song...
And no... It's a recent compilation...
Just Russians showing their appreciation for all Putin has done and is trying to do...
I'd suggest making one of Biden to counter it...But that might be a bit embarrassing

And I apologize...
I thought I had posted the lyrics...
Here they are...
Beautiful song..
I am breathing in that air,
The sun is looking at me from the sky.
There`s a free wind flying over me,
That wind is free - and so am I.
And all I want
Is just to love and to breathe -
And that`s all I really need.
I am who I am -
You can never defeat!
And all this because of...
I`m Russian -
I will fight till the end!
I`m Russian -
My father`s blood`s in my veins!
I`m Russian -
Feel so blessed to be me!
I`m Russian -
In spite of everything!
This song is flying high up in the sky,
And it`s calling me to fly.
My flaming heart is shining right inside me,
Lighting brightly my way home,
Where all I want
Is just to love and to breathe -
And don`t need anything more.
The way who I am -
You can never defeat!
And all this because of...
I`m Russian -
I will fight till the end!
I`m Russian -
My father`s blood`s in my veins!
I`m Russian -
Feel so proud to be me!
I`m Russian -
You can never defeat!
I`m Russian -
I will fight till the end!
I`m Russian -
My father`s blood`s in my veins!
I`m Russian -
Feel so lucky to be!
I`m Russian -
You can never defeat!

I think one, if not several have already been construed for this nation's unelected nonfunctioning "Executive."
They are all variations on, "Let's Go Brandon," theoretically unfit to print or recite in polite society.

I hope your Rap collection includes your fellow Canadian, Tom MacDonald. He is the only rapper to whom I've ever been willing to expend over ten seconds.
"F**e Woke" is one of his best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l6JUNFAJ9o

"Conservative rapper Tom MacDonald weighed in on the controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s recent attacks on MAGA Republicans in a video message posted to Twitter on Sunday.
Biden gave a speech in Philadelphia last Thursday, in which he declared, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republican.”
Biden claimed the Republican Party “is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”
“MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people,” Biden raged in his speech last week.
MacDonald, 33, a Canadian rapper, songwriter and former wrestler who now lives in Los Angeles, has released a number of pro-American rap songs, including one in October titled, “America,” which has raked in over 12 million views. Another video, titled, “Brainwashed,” has amassed over 14 million views. MacDonald’s latest music video, “Names,” released in July, has received over 5.6 million views.
MacDonald was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, but has lived in the United States for the past ten years.
“I know everybody is pretty upset about this recent Joe Biden speech,” MacDonald said. “Don’t be mad that he said a lot of Republican are extremists.”
“These are the same people who think a woman is anybody with an imagination who identifies as one,” Macdonald declared, adding, “These are the same people that tanked the economy, inflated the price of living, brought us to the brink of war with Russia, cowered from China, fumbled the p******c, ignored a f******l epidemic, food shortages, gas prices, amplified social unrest, took us to the verge of an energy crisis, and divided America at record speed.”
“If anybody else made this many bad decisions, we wouldn’t take a damn thing they say seriously. Don’t let them upset you. They wouldn’t know what an extremist looked like if it was fully dressed in body armor, burning down a city in broad daylight, then walked up to them claiming to identify as a lawn mower offering to cut their grass!”
“My dog has better judgement than these people!” MacDonald said.

Yes, and he's listened to because of his genre.
