If your goal is really to help gay teens, you don't need me to change my views. I support protecting gay teens. I armed you with Russian law, that will put anyone, who bullied gay teen into suicide, in jail, provided they are 16 (and still give them a lot of heat if they are U16). If you are LGBT activist, whose goal is to help gay teens, you need to communicate it to your russian friends and begin some sort of activity to bring bulliers to justice. You can set up some sort of hot line so gay kids could call in and say that they are being bullied. Then you can talk with bulliers and their parents and spell it out to them that in case gay teen will commit suicide, bulliers will go to jail. You don't need new laws, they are already there. You don't need to cancel Putin's law for it either. I guess, you were going so hard against Putin law is because you didn't know about anti-bulliers law. The reason why this debate is this long is not because my views are dumb or anything, but because you keep repeating "you are violating human rights, you backwards scum" like a broken record.
