As Russian I must say: Yes. here is lot of antiquated attitude towards gay people. But you should understand:
Here are no laws against gay relations of adult people with consent. And it's good since their relations are their and only their affairs.
There are laws against popularization of gay relations with minors ONLY. And I believe it's good because Russian Gay-Pride parades participants are not gay at all, and their task is to undermine the traditional morale, and they are on payroll of somebody who pays for other means of undermining it, be it stupid TV programming, stupid schoolbooks, stupid university courses, stupid programming languages, and the top declaration of stupidity by Education Minister Fursenko: "Communists were not right when they tried to produce a Creative Man. We should grow up a qualified CONSUMER of others' creativity". Once more, I stress that it's my personal belief, and I must add that it's a popular belief here.
Also, I believe that anti-Gay laws are BAD because they are nothing more than a cheap PR of Duma members that are members of puppet parties and fraudulently elected nonrepresentatives of Russian people in puppet Parliament controlled by You Know Whom.
