Russia has
unveiled its answer to the rainbow gay pride flag by issuing a blue and
white design depicting the outline of a straight couple and three
children above the words 'a real family'.
Presented
as part of the annual Day of Family, Love and Fidelity celebrations
earlier this week, the country's ruling United Russia party called the
flag 'a response to same sex marriage'.
Andrei
Lisovenko, deputy head of the United Russia branch in Moscow described
gay marriage as a 'mockery' of the concept of family, adding: 'We have
to warn against gay-fever at home and support traditional values in our
country.'
The comments came in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's
decision to legalise gay marriage in all 50 American states - a move
that prompted widespread international praise and saw the White House
lit up in the colours of the rainbow flag.
