Russian Orthodox Activists Attack Facebook For ‘Flirting With Sodomites’ | Orthodox religious activists in Russia are outraged by a very simple change Facebook recently made. As if allowing users to express “interest” in the same sex weren’t scandalous enough, the site now uses same-sex marriage icons to denote such relationship statuses. For this, Russian activists believe Facebook is “flirting with sodomites” and have threatened to sue Russian internet service providers that allow customers to access Facebook. Implying that Facebook’s LGBT “propganda” is used to recruit and harm children, Vladimir Roslyakovsky, leader of the Orthodox public organization, said, “We demand only one thing: Facebook should be blocked in the entire country because it openly popularizes homosexuality among minors.”
