Vladimir Putin 'not for gays' protest beer

Ok, let's get straight to the point. Do you think what Russia is doing is acceptable?

Russia just bans the promotion of homosexuality. If you are homosexual why do you need to promote? Keep it to yourself. You all imagine that homosexuals are being beaten to death in Russia because you saw one video/article... But I admit all these protest cause even more violence towards them. And in reality there is little west can do to influence Russia on gay rights .

Anyway in Russia (population of 143 million) only 7% of people actually have a gay acquaintance.

I think their Laws are fine

They don't promote people to go out and kill them

that's the peoples choice

but the Anti Gay laws would be wonderful in the UK

Sure, let's set our equality laws back several years, wouldn't that just be fantastic?

Personal preference

and that's mine.

Before I say this I do think Brewdog's beer is pretty good and their bars are cool, but while I think this is a pretty good idea for a protest against Russia's anti-gay policies and pretty funny too, I do think that they are guilty of pretty much cashing-in on the misery, torture and murder of gays in Russia.

I do not think this is simply a stunt which aims to make a difference or create awareness. It simply exists to boost sales and create more publicity for Brewdog, who like to imagine they're 'underground' but aren't. Cynical hipster crap. Gays boycotting Russian vodka = opportunity for a Scottish beer brewer


Opinions?

I really don't like Brewdog.

Their place in Nottingham is terrible, the highlight is probably having a ps2 in there.

Full of posers and the only lager available is in a 330ml can, the spirit selection is also terrible.

I just don't like ale and bitter, I've tried but I find that when I have a pint of either it actually tastes worse with each sip.

I would say that it is basically a cynical money making tactic which is actually in character for this company.

Putin isn't going to change his mind. I hate to sound like I'm defending his actions because I'm really not; but if you're gay, why go to Russia? There are countless other countries that are all better. Don't like it, don't go.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm against his actions because of how it affects the gay people already living there, not because I want to go to Russia.

Man honestly

Just give it a rest

Leave Russia alone.
