BUT I REFUSE TO PASS JUDGEMENT ON A SOCIETY WHEN I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY THINK HOW THEY DO.

I BELIEVE YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE THINKING BEHIND BELIEFS BEFORE THEY CAN BE CHANGED, BECAUSE NOTHING CHANGES OVER NIGHT.

The part I believe is being blown out of proportion is the reaction I am getting for this belief. If the majority does not have the ability to grasp why I believe what I do, then that is very sad.
Perhaps you are misunderstanding the position of other posters as well? I don't think many, if any, posters are attacking Russia or Russian people (for the record, my entire family is Russian.) What I, and others, are doing is attacking the opinions and attitudes (and its codification in legislation) of some Russians regarding homosexuality. What is wrong with that? What is wrong with expressing that "attack" or disapproval by wearing a rainbow flag?
