>Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered that a ban be placed on foreign adoptions to same-sex couples.
>His decision follows the commissioning of a report into so called 'psychological damage' suffered by a boy was who was adopted by two gay women in the US.
>A move by France to legalize gay marriage and allow same sex couples to adopt has also led to new laws being drawn so that only traditional couples can adopt from Russian orphanages.
>Opposition on same sex couples adopting came to light with the conclusion of a custody battle waged between two American women over their 10 year old adopted son.
I'd rather have a kid be raised by two gays over being raised in an orphanage learning how to make Vodka.

Edited by Skitzy Skitzo: 6/3/2013 10:04:13 PMWho cares what Russia does? It is absolutely ridiculous to worry about minor international affairs (that have no real impact) when the problems at home are worse and more dangerous. Pick your battles and never starts new ones when your already fighting ones you can't win.

Ah, come on, Putin! I thought we were cool.

That's the 2nd thing he's done in recent months. A while back didn't he stop and ban all adoptions coming to the USA? If I remember right, there were a few families in the making that were broken up by that.

Russia can do whatever they want, intranationally.
