what ? Gay marriage is still not legalized in most of the united states. and gay in russia means paedophiles included, its something putin has conjured up.
Saying Russians are scared of gays is like saying americans are all fat and lazy.
They are not afraid, and never was. In the USSR gays were criminalized and put to jail. There was no same punishment for lesbians, surprisingly.
However, we are talking about TOKAMAKs and LASERs here.
