Russia is talking about changing adoption agreements with countries that have legalized gay marriage. Putin said it is in conflict with Russia's moral standards. Russia is really indirectly talking about amending its agreement with France. Now Russia is threatening to stop adoptions with Ireland if they pass the Magnitsky Act. It seems Russia's foreign policy is based on controlling its primary resources, oil and children! Now there is talk of other EU countries joining in with support of the Magnitsky act. The Russian speaker said that other countries need to respect Russia's moral, legal,ethical, and cultural standards, in regards to the Russian view on homosexuality. They only decriminalized homosexuality in the 1999. Currently gay right protesters are not allowed to demonstrate, and an anti-homosexual propaganda law is trying be passed. Russia seems to be taking away democratic freedoms left and right.
