I think when Russia is accused of not being "democratic", it's just an accusation thrown around when they have different views than us.
And through all this note that Russia is my culture's greatest sworn enemy. But in this situation I think they're right.

For the record, supporting removing rights from a person based solely on a specific trait that you deem to be immoral, inferior, or otherwise disagreeable, is pretty much the definition of disrespecting people.
You've said that in a democracy people should respect the laws, even if they are in place to oppress a minority.
So by your own admission you would see absoutely zero problems with laws that outlawed your religion, or another religion, or hell, even called for the genocide of a particular group?
You obviously also think that the south was perfectly justified in the civil war, and that the north was fighting a war of aggression trying to force their beliefs on a group that had democratically decided that owning slaves was AOK.
Go ahead and argue all you want that what I'm saying isn't correct, but it either absoutely is, and you are a horrible person who doesn't understand the principles of democracy, or you are just very particlular in your biggotry, and are trying to hide it behind inconsistent logic.
