You seems to be under impression that it is illegal to talk about gays wherever there's a reasonable chance that children will find it. This is not the case. It does not prohibit talking about gays on web forums. Russian gay sites still exists, such as
http://www.lgbtnet.ru/ and
http://www.gay.ru/. So do gay clubs. They are not banned. It is only illegal if propaganda is intentionally directed at children (posted on some lego forum for example).
By the way, I finally found the actual law text:

We all know why, despite the mental gymnastics you are attempting here to justify an unreasonable position.

You had already asked why there's a law against gay propaganda and no laws against other sorts of propaganda and I already responded that the reason for that is because russians are particularly sick of gay propaganda.

This is very opposite of what I said. I said that definition is vague and should be made more precise to target gays. Particularly, promoting marrying inferile man should not be illegal. It is not illegal now as well, unless a judge will have some serious brainlock.
I will probably respond to the rest of your post later, however a bulk of it came out because you were overblowing the restrictions of the law.
