What worries me more is not the insanely stupid law prohibiting gay propaganda, but the fact that people are so afraid of it to dismantle a monument depicting a phone. This 1984 level fear, unfortunately.

Interestingly, the currently popular terms for the EU and USA among "vatniks" (extreme nationalists) are "Gayropa" and "Pindostan" - homophobia is very influential.
