Outrage of the month club.
Sorry, all this hand wringing is just losing its effectiveness. If homosexuality was legalized in Russia today, gays would be picketing Putin for gay marriage tomorrow.
There has to be a point when we respect our differences. Its really not a small world... and we're really not the boss of everybody.
A few things:
1. There is far more that is reprehensible about Putin than his use of gays as a political scape goat. Ignore them or not, it makes you an admirer of a Fascist.
2. Eventually homosexuality, and gay marriage will be legalized the world over. Whether or not you reconcile yourself to the winds of this cultural battle is irrelevant.
3. No one said Obama was the boss of Russia. We sent a specially selected envoy to voice our displeasure. You responded with admiration of Putin a man who has murdered journalists, imprisoned democracy activists, and crushed protesters.
