M.N. comments:
The Russian "law" - ban on "homosexual propaganda" is discriminatory and legally illiterate in its essence: it presumes that "homosexual propaganda" is harmful to children while "heterosexual propaganda" is not. There is no scientific evidence that gay life style and pedophilia are related, this is "anti-homosexual propaganda". The evidence from scientific studies is that pedophiles experience sexual attraction to children regardless of their gender, that pedophilia is a pathology, a disease of its own, and probably (the hard figures are difficult to get) the majority of sexual offences against children are heterosexual. It would be much more logical (from legal, social and other points of view) to repeal this notorious non-law and introduce much broader regulation that would make more sense: about the protection of children from sexual predators in general and about sexual education. If children are properly and timely educated in these matters, they will have stronger psychological immunity against the adults' (or other children's) seduction and molestation.
"В.ПУТИН: Спасибо.
Во-первых, конечно, деятельность по этому направлению особую ценность представляет, потому речь идет о детях. Но то, что я хотел бы сказать, совсем, как ни покажется странным, из другой области. Вы опять упомянули Послание, где я говорил о здоровой традиционной семье и здоровой нации. И действительно, это наши приоритеты. Но здесь какой-то намек, и Вы сейчас об этом сказали и подчеркнули: традиционность семьи – безусловно, наш приоритет. Но это не должно смотреться так, что мы намерены преследовать людей какой-то нетрадиционной ориентации. Понимаете? Нам пытались навесить этот ярлык, причем те, которые в уголовном порядке преследуют людей нетрадиционной ориентации. Вот в Штатах, там же в некоторых штатах уголовная ответственность предусмотрена, а этот закон не действует, там, по-моему, верховный суд приостановил, но отменить – не отменяют. У нас нет никакой уголовной ответственности.
Мы о чем говорили изначально? О защите от пропаганды нетрадиционной ориентации для того, чтобы уберечь детей от этого. И я говорил уже об этом не один раз публично, скажу еще раз. Общество, которое не может защитить своих детей, не имеет будущего. Хорошие у нас представления, несовременные, может быть, но вот они такие, какие есть, и я считаю, что они правильные.
Но, – и вот сейчас обращаюсь к вам, к людям, которые защищают права человека, – хотел бы сказать, что и у людей нетрадиционной ориентации тоже есть свои права. Это не выбор нашего общества, но это люди, не пораженные в правах.
Кто-то помнит, может быть, в БДТ был очень хороший спектакль, «Холстомер» назывался. И там рефреном идет такая фраза: «Будешь странным – будешь битым». Мы никого бить не собираемся. У всех людей есть и свои политические права, и социальные, и права в профессии, и никто не должен быть ущемлен. Я хочу, и ваше внимание тоже на это обратить, потому что это ваша повседневная работа. Но традиционная, здоровая семья и здоровая нация, это наш стратегический выбор, одно другого не исключает, одно другому не мешает. И думаю, что такой взвешенный подход и является абсолютно правильным.
Что касается вашего направления работы, Вы сейчас очень коротко об этом сказали, но я знаю, что Вы лично и Ваши коллеги очень много делают, очень активно все себя ведут по направлению защиты прав ребенка. Я очень рассчитываю, что так и будет в дальнейшем. Все, что Вы мне передали, конечно, мы проанализируем и постараемся поддержать по всем направлениям, которые вы предложили."
