persecuting gays This is a perfect case of an actual disinformation. There's no persecution of gays in Russia. There's no law for persecuting gays, there's no actual persecution happening. There's at least one openly gay bar in every major city, operating for years and everyone knows about them. Nobody cares. Just a few days ago I've seen two girls carrying LGBT flag on a street of a small Russian town. Nobody cared (although they obviously wanted attention). Only gay propaganda is disallowed in Russia, but it's not the same as "persecuting gays".
