Is it any surprise to well, anyone, that Russian legislator Vitaly Milonov, the main proponent of the homophobic law, "laws against gay propaganda," is a Christian.
I know, I hear your collective gasp.
In 1991, Milonov joined the Baptist church. Later, in 1998, he converted to the Russian Orthodox Church.
This Christian young man was an assistant to Vitaly Viktorovich Savitsky, chairman in the 1990s of the existing Christian Democratic Union of Russia (CDU). During this time Milonov was also chairman of the "Young Christian Democrats."
Really? It is almost a cliche, now isn't it.
The fanatical Christians are like a demented yapping dog over the back fence, we just have to ignore them the best we can and move forward.
The people I feel sorry for are the Russian people, not only are the fanatical Christians ruining their country, (to uphold their own chosen, mythical christian beliefs, shrug) but the Christians are making it clear to the rest of the world that Russia is still the backward country it has always been.
