The BBC posted different maps within minutes of each other on their website and twitter feeds that accompanied the same story they entitled 'Where it's illegal to be gay'.
Their twitter feed clearly showed the truth about Russia having nothing illegal about being gay, whilst their website's map showed Russia coloured in as having 'Laws against gay expression' in a shade very similar to their code for countries that 'imprison' people for being gay!
The story on their website also highlighted Russia several times and barely singled out any other country for special treatment despite many countries handing out death sentences to homosexuals.
First of all they mentioned a law banning the promotion of "non-traditional" sexuality in Russia, they then unbelievably brought the same subject up again (in what was a very short article) about the introduced controversial legislation in June and, for maximum mocking impact they published a photo of two people kissing with President Putin face masks on.
The reason for doing this is that people who only use their website and other Mainstream Media outlets for information about global affairs will be lead to believe that Russia is as oppressive to gay people as many undeveloped countries in Asia and Africa; basically an immature attempt to taint Russia's growing global stature.
Their post on twitter though had to display the truth as many people who use twitter are capable of independent thought and get information from many different sources other than mainstream media ones that often have agendas behind their stance on subjects.
If they had lied on twitter it could have brought about bad publicity, that could have reached the ears of the rapidly decreasing amount of brainwashed people that are spoon fed information that MSM are forced to report by their Rothschilds Zionist masters in order to help them with their dream of a New World Order!

Where is it illegal to be gay?
ReplyDeleteMillions of people continue to live in places that outlaw same-sex relationships and prosecute people for being gay. In five countries and in parts of two others, homosexuality is still punishable with the death penalty, while a further 70 imprison citizens because of their sexual orientation.
Even where homosexuality is legal, many countries treat those in same-sex relationships differently, such as having an unequal age of consent or a ban on marriage. In Russia, host of the Sochi Winter Olympics, a law banning the promotion of "non-traditional" sexuality to under-18s was introduced last year.
So, where is it illegal to be gay? Which countries allow same-sex marriages? Explore the map of UN member states below to find out. Countries are coloured and categorised by their most anti-gay or pro-equality laws.

Notes on the data: The map shows an overview of the legal status of gay people living in UN member states. They are coloured by their most anti-gay or pro-equality laws on a scale of red to blue. Where a country falls into two contradictory categories this is reflected in the key. Where countries have varied laws, this is noted in the rollover text when available on your device. The map and key show legal status only and do not reflect day-to-day experiences. In many places where anti-discrimination laws exist, gay people continue to be persecuted by state authorities and wider society. Read the full notes.

Decriminalising being gay
Gay rights protest in Russia
During the last 200 years, an increasing number of countries have decriminalised same-sex relationships. After a period of criminalisation before the French Revolution in 1789, the trend towards decriminalisation gathered pace - particularly in the 1960s and 1970s.
However, some countries are moving in the opposite direction, introducing punitive new laws and strengthening existing penalties. Last year, India reinstated a 153-year-old colonial-era law criminalising gay sex. Nigeria, which already bans gay relationships, also recently outlawed same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection.
Olympic host Russia also introduced controversial legislation in June that prescribes fines for anyone giving information about homosexuality to people under 18.

My tweets to them before they changed it 5 hours later (Remember many twitter users wouldn't look at it again because they would take one quick look and realize they have already seen it and so wouldn't spot it's attempt at anti-russian propaganda)

@BBCWorld @InaBackstrom With the way things are changing in Russia, I fear it is to be added to that list in a few years.
