It is only a matter of time before this becomes a country-wide problem as it is in the USA. One the one hand, you can say why shouldn't they? On the other, there is the change in definition of marriage, which is really the issue. Marriage as it was intended by God in the beginning was between a man and woman, not 2 people of the same gender, so what they have is not really marriage in how God intends it, but a union of 2 people agreeing on things and being together but yet God is discluded and He appears to be the Author of this institution and union, not a man-made mutation of what it was meant to be!

Russia does NOT need these types of UNPRODUCTIVE perverts. Encourage them to go to woozy country like Canada or the US and let them deal with all the social ills of having perverts raising kids to be perverts. Get those trouble makers out of your country. George Soros, probably PAID them to try to make you wonderful people change your rules. Don't do it.

Homosexuality is NOT a man-made mutation; it is natural and occurs in many animals as well as humans. Marriage is about the union of two people that love each other. Most of the time, it is between a man and a woman, but sometimes, it is possible (and natural) for two people of the same gender to form a very strong bond. I can't see how God is excluded from this. (I am heterosexual, but the way.)

> Marriage as it was intended by God Which god? I don't remember Zeus, the King of the gods, making any claims regarding one-sex marriages.

Live and let live people of Russia. Fair enough you can keep marriage between a man and a woman, but perhaps you could offer some form of legal protection for these people that DO exist in Russia (albeit in the closet). However, regardless of your opinion of same-sex relationships, banning a gay protest (it couldn't even be classified as a gay pride parade because there is no pride there) is ridiculous in the 21st century. It's enforcing your opinion (even though it may be that of the majority) down others' throats,

Ha! Tomorrow, I will want to marry my dog, which is already married to my neighbor's hamster, and challenge the "outdated" law. I think Russian Constitution should indeed protect normal marriage, where a man and a woman create a union to be one and to procreate. All gay and such, will have to protect their unions by mutual legal agreements, etc. Better yet, repent and ask God to help them to overcome their passions. Cheerz :)
