    That should work out great! He could be best friends with Putin. He could have a house built out of chocolate, ride a unicorn up and down the streets, and someday learn to fly.....

    It is not illegal to be gay in Russia. It is illegal to promote it. They are missing out on having people like this teach their kids. What a shame. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=transvestites+teaching+kids+in+libraries&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=lLcpDqvtxw7QWM%253A%252CxveRjSO7cmUHpM%252C_&usg=AFrqEzctnkWVm3DJxGqp-p1GmSpxmIDzKQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjm2Kr0nOHcAhUI6bwKHZ8xBHEQ9QEwA3oECAIQBg#imgrc=lLcpDqvtxw7QWM:

    Maybe he put on a furry mustache and glued hair on his chest, then beat his chest like a gorilla, he might just pass. Or Putin's cronies will just rub him out. Thin-skinned machismo rules over there.
