No picnickers and no gays
Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov watns to build a golf course in a picturesque corner of the Russian capital, but it's not because he's a fan of the sport. It's because he wants to protect the area from gays.
"In general, golf courses are organized protection of the environment," Luzhkov said during a city government meeting shown on state-run Rossiya television April 12. "In this case there would be no barbecues, no picnics, no gays - nothing like that, because there would be a structuer that would take responsibility for this facility."
The discussion stemmed from a plan to develop part of notrhwestern Moscow along the city's main river and protect the area's waterside environment. Moscow, where Luzhkov has been mayor since 1992, is seeking to host the 2012 Olympics.

Someone should warn him that the crafty homosexuals may know how to play golf.
A homophobic Russian? Why I never, darling!
What...will he ask everyone on the way in?
"excuse me, sir, are you homosexual?"

Naw, he'll just not let in anyone wearing assless leather chaps and funny moustaches. Because EVERYBODY knows those are the signs of a gay man.

I wonder how they're planning to keep homosexuals from golfing... what, do homosexuals have to check a box to say they are gay or something on the application? :confused:

Is that why my caddy keeps offering to wash my balls?
My god, he is ignorant. I mean, I can understand no gays, but no picknickers? Thats craziness. We should nuke a few naval bases, see if they change their mind. The picknickers will not be held down! Free your people, Putin!
HAHA!
Wow, this is too funny. Stupid mayor. From what I know (which isn't much), though, Russian society as a whole is about as tolerant toward homosexuality as the majority of Americans are.

Methinks something is lost in translation.
Let's run through it again...
Picnics - check
Barbeques - check
Gays? - doesn't really fit, maybe it's an idiom

I bet they're afraid that your gay-ness will get into the water and infect their urban population.

*snort* No gays on the golf course? Next someone will try to make it illegal for men to wear pink clothing because it "promotes the homosexual lifestyle".
