'Because country refuses to recognize same-sex marriage'Russia gives Italy sole adoption rights over gay-union ban
Moscow, November 29 - Italy will be the only country allowed to adopt children from Russia because it does not recognize gay marriage, a Kremlin official said Friday. "It turns out that Italy is currently the only country whose citizens are able to adopt Russian children because, first of all, this country refused to recognise same-sex marriage, which, for its part, does not require Russia to change the existing agreement, and, secondly, (the Italians) abide by the terms of this treaty. That is all," Children Rights Commissioner Pavel Astakhov told Russia's Interfax news agency. "It is not our fault. (Other countries) should work harder if you want international adoption to continue. "Our priorities differ from yours. We generally prioritize the adoption of children inside the country". The official specified that the policy does not amount to an outright ban on adoption in other countries. Currently the United States is the only country banned from adopting Russian children. Italy's left-wing SEL party lashed out at Italian Premier Enrico Letta, who wrapped up a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and ministers from both governments in Trieste Wednesday, where a number of accords were signed. "Putin continues to astound with his homophobic regurgitations, announcing that Russia will allow foreign adoptions only to Italy because it's among the few European countries not to recognize gay couples," said Cathy La Torre from the national directorate of SEL, who called on Letta to condemn Russia's adoption decision. "If these are the results of the bilateral accords recently stipulated between Italy and Russia, there's very little to be happy with".
This man MUST be gay cause no other straight man would spend so much time and attention on something he hates.

Wouldn't it be baffling if some sort of information came out proving Putin was gay himself.
Don't put this all on Putin you realize there are thousands and thousands of Russian politicians that are homophobic? And the Russian people aren't exactly accepting. He's not all bad, Western media don't report on his good side. Why would they?

Putin likes dogs.
Why should they and why should we when he was the one who signed that law?
If it wasn't for him than those other homophobes wouldn't have gotten their way.
Every country has homophobic people but without important people like him behind them they're nothing.
So yes, he'll always be the bad guy until he turns this around.
Well, me, loving animals is a good thing. He also likes guns, which is cool.
Anyways, I wasn't defending the Russians on this issue. I was just pointing out that not everything happening in Russia is because of Putin although he is probably a total homophobe.

at anyone trying to defend Putin. He signs the paperwork.
