While India may have laws against homosexuality they are by and large more concerned with keeping the a/c on than wiping out a "plague" of gay people. At any given time and place about 35% of Indians disagree with homosexuality. It's roughly double that in mother Russia. If polls aren't your thing there plenty of evidence of Russian intolerance and acceptance of violence towards minorities.
omg wtf indeed
