In Russia, I have the right express my feelings however I see fit to someone that I am in love with in a public place, and I am allowed to tell people about my sexual orientation.
The same cannot be said for someone who is gay. How are those equal rights?
If the law was saying that no one can express any sort of public affection, or discuss sexual orientation, then the law would simply be stupid, but not oppresive and discriminatory. As it stands now, it is the defintion of those things, and to attempt to argue from a logical standpoint that that isn't the case, is impossible.

Let me tell you, a law is one thing. Try doing that in Russia. If you want to take that as a dare well then you'll understand how things are in Eastern Europe.
I'm not even referring to the police, getting arrested by the police should be the least of a gay's concern in Russia. I don't agree with that but it's more of a wild west mentality out there.
