"America is too great for small dreams." ~ Ronald Reagan
"Сравнивать Путина с Гитлером, Сочи с Берлином, геев с евреями способен лишь тот, кто не чувствует разницы между зимой и летом, между неброским консерватизмом нулевых и безжалостным блеском фашистского модерна. Вот и я не сравниваю, просто рассказываю истории, как тот голландский патрульный, конькобежец Сим Хейден. Говорят, под конец жизни он впал в маразм и просто придумал встречу со Шварцманном. Если так — в этой выдумке больше правды жизни, чем в самой жизни."
Вот этими словами в конце заметки автор явно перестраховывается, какбы цензура не наказала. Но в самом тексте много неоднозначных моментов.

Сколько же лицемерия и двуличия в западном вое по поводу российского закона против пропаганды гомосексуализма среди детей.... чи они с дуба попадале, чи шо ?
Since 2011, at least a dozen men have been arrested on a count of “attempted crimes against nature” in Louisiana that is, an offer to have sex with another man. Even worse, the arrests were part of a sting operation in which undercover officers propositioned men, lured them into an apartment, then promptly arrested them and brought them to jail. The latest arrest occurred on July 18.
13 states, all of them red or red-leaning, have kept their anti-sodomy laws on the books. And three of them—Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas—explicitly outlaw consenting sex between people of the same sex. In much of red-state America, then, being gay remains officially illegal.
Yet these laws aren’t merely symbolic. Same-sex couples in North Carolina and Texas have been arrested for “homosexuality conduct” in recent years. And as the Louisiana debacle illustrates, overzealous law enforcement officers feel enabled by the law to arrest, prosecute, and generally humiliate gay people simply for being gay.
While the situation in Russia is dire, it's hardly the only place to have instituted a law banning "gay propaganda." In fact, as a map from the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network illustrates, eight U.S. states — Alabama, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah — have laws banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools. (South Dakota and Missouri, pictured in gray, merely have laws prohibiting local school districts from enacting anti-bullying policies.)
The U.S. anti-propaganda laws range from stifling speech to actively promoting fear and misinformation in schools. Arizona and Utah, for instance, ban teachers from casting homosexuality in a positive light, while states like Alabama and Texas take things a step further, requiring educators to describe homosexuality as abhorrent to the general public and as a criminal behavior. (It's not — or, at least, it hasn’t been for a decade now. The United States belatedly legalized sodomy in 2003, a full decade after Russia did so.)
