Ghoulish right wing celebrates Putin's suppression of LGBT rights

Story here

Right-wing pundits aplenty are celebrating the Putin regime, even as the ruble fluctuates and the mess with Ukraine continues.

And why is that? Putin has ignored, if not outright encouraged, a wave of anti-gay violence. Guess the way to "protect the family" is to not do anything when neo-Nazis kidnap and beat someone.

Especially since most of the ones most likely to preach morality are liars, crooks, thieves, and con artists themselves.

It's just that we sure as hell do not need a morals and values crowd that gets everything wrong when it comes to these issues.
