When did you choose to be white? When did you choose to be heterosexual?

It's not about telling gay child that he's wrong to be who they are. It's about preventing gay people from swaying children into their gay activities. And it IS an issue in Russia. Otherwise this law would not get so much support from Russian people. And yes this law IS vague and it can, in theory, be abused. I would rather have it worded more precise and impossible to abuse. Nonetheless, it is good law for Russia in its current situation, unless you assume, that all those numberless russians who support it are all clueless idiots, who have no idea about what's happening in their own lives.
