As an aside, I disagree with this. There are clearly instances where societies or governments are justified in violating or infringing people's human rights. As I noted before, section 1 of Canada's
Charter explicitly recognizes this reality. And often it is indeed a very grey and very murky area.
It just isn't a grey area in the case of Russia's anti-gay legislation.
