Russian Deputy P.M. on LGBT Laws: 'Please Do Not Touch Kids'

The deputy prime minister of Russia said Thursday that gay Olympians and fans have nothing to worry about but added: "Please do not touch kids. That’s the only thing."

Russia passed laws last year criminalizing the promotion of gay "propaganda" to minors and restricting gay adoption, and human rights organizations have described a pattern of oppression of Russian gays and lesbians, including videotaped beatings.

The deputy prime minister, Dmitry Kozak, told reporters in Sochi Thursday that Russia does not "differentiate between people depending on their religion or their sexual orientation." He spoke in Russian, and his remarks were simultaneously translated by Olympic organizers.

Kozak added: "We are all grownups, and any adult has his or her right to understand their sexual activity. Please do not touch kids. That’s the only thing. During the opening ceremony, during the closing ceremony, during the sports events, I hope that we will not see such problems."

1. Fucking idiots.

Maybe someone should explain the definitions of homosexuality and pedophilia to these idiots.

Got it.

3. Some things never change.

This small minded bigot is not alone in his false conclusion that gays are pedophiles. It is interesting to see how many people go to the "won't somebody think of the children?!" mantra when homosexuality is mentioned. What is even more disgusting are those who support this asshole's conclusions.

4. And the world's sports culture lines up to pay homage to this bullshit.

7. Not so different from us

just a short few decades ago. Still, in some parts of the US, even if the equivalent government officials wouldn't say it today.

We still have a ways to go, in fact.

8. Yes unfortunately .. we still have people who believe that homosexuality=pedophilia
