Sounds like they're trying to troll the gay community.

I was thinking they are trying to stir up Americans specifically who are angry at the recent illegal court ruling.

Wouldn't they be supportive of the flag?

From another article:

Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party has unveiled a ‘Straight Pride’ flag – after getting upset about the prevalence of the rainbow flag.

The rainbow flag has been increasingly prevalent in Western culture in the past few months, with hundreds of companies and brands, and millions of Facebook users, adopting a rainbow logo for Pride month.

According to RT, lawmaker Aleksey Lisovenko told newspaper Izvestia: “This is our answer to same sex marriages, this mockery of the very concept of family. We must prevent gay fever in our country and support traditional values.”

Mr Lisovenko also wants to ban the use of the rainbow flag anywhere in Russia, including on the internet and social media.

Apparently, Russia is an anti-gay country as per another article:

A Russian couple have reportedly been granted asylum in Finland, after fleeing persecution in their home country.

Gay couple Vladimir Naumov and Vasily Kolesnikov fled Russia amid rising anti-gay sentiment, following the introduction of Vladimir Putin’s ‘gay propaganda’ law in 2013.

The pair last year applied for asylum in Finland, which shares a border with northern Russia, arguing that they face discrimination in Russia.

Yes. Yes.
I'm sure that's it.

Get over the Confederate Flag bullshit, TL. Seriously.

Why would a country that prohibits homosexual activity of any kind in public, and attempts to control it in private, need to promote a 'heterosexual' flag?

And yet, it appears to be real.

*deadpans* 'Cause they're Russians and they have a long bigoted streak in them... ...they're also still pretty pissed that the former Soviet Union fell to the - in their eyes - "decadent" West...

Putin flying bombers off our coast. Working to destabilize our currency. Waging a campaign to have Americans against Americans is just another added dose to his agenda and gay marriage is a big one.

Not sure what this has to do with the battle flag not confederate flag except for the absolute ignorance on what people actually think they know about it.

Here's a gay social experiment they did in Russia. It's worth watching to understand fully about Russia's attitude towards gays.
