    I have already signed. I think it is disgusting how they can even think of a bill to Silence LGBT rights campaigners.

    I'm quite gratified that in the 20 secs it took me to do this over 200 people signed it as well.

    I signed yesterday when I got the email from them.

    Not sure how Russia has been left behind considering its neighbours (atleast those on the left-hand side) are pretty non-discriminatory.

    I can't believe that, that is actually happening.

    Anybody that hasn't, please go sign that right now. A lot of freedom is at stake for them.

    It was nearly at 95,000 when I signed.

    Y'know, it strikes me that according to the terms of the ban, an author could still write about being bisexual! Eh? Eh? You don't think they'd go for it? And why not? Because to them, there is no such thing as bisexual...if you're attracted to the same sex *at all*, you're gay. That's gotta make life difficult for a *lot* of people!

    Russia is a fascist state. They need yet another revolution in order to get their act together.
