GRANDVILLE, MI Russias anti-gay propaganda law is common sense according to a Facebook posting by Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema.
Agema, known for making inflammatory statements about gay people, reportedly endorsed the Russian law that makes it illegal to discuss LGBT issues in front of children.
According to the Washington Blade, a news site that covers LGBT issues, Agemas post was screen-captured on Jan. 7 by Republican Party members with access to the former Grandville state representative's Facebook news feed.
According to the Blade, Agema posted a link to an Illinois Family Institute blog post by Laurie Higgins titled Russias Anti-Propaganda Law Riles Pro-Homosexuality Crowd.

(73,631 posts)I'm not puzzled that most of these people are Republicans, however.
And not just the idea of gay sex, but intricacies of what they seem to think all gays "do." They imagine these acts apparently whenever they think about gays, which is constantly.

(4,644 posts)A guy at work tells me he likes Elton John's songs, but he can't hear them without thinking about Elton having *graphic* sex with another man.
I say" That's one difference between you and me, I don't think about gay sex when I hear his music"
He shut up when he realized how his position might be construed.
