I think you misunderstood him. To me it sounded like he already knew that Russia was a nation comprised largely of bigots as a result of being aware, prior to this thread existing, of attitudes towards gays and support for this law among the Russian population.
I was also aware of the numbers and the general popular sentiment in Russia, so I didn't need this thread to confirm my views. I'd also read quite a bit of forum-style commentary from Russian people on other boards talking about why they thought this law was just peachy and entirely reasonable so Pointman's obtuse nonsense wasn't entirely new (though he took it to the next level here).
Basically, there are some enlightened Russians who support the LGBT community. They are a minority, though. The vast majority of people in that country are apparently bigoted, crappy excuses for human beings.

Given his dogged support for the perspective that it's some form of moral imperialism to judge other societies whose standards of right and wrong differ from ours, it wouldn't surprise. Homophobes these days, being on the wrong side of every argument, attempt to wage proxy battles.
