As I said, I mean no offense to Russian culture. There are anti-gay cultures many places also in the middle east.
I had a drill sergeant call me m0therfuker for 16 weeks because he couldn't pronounce my Slav last name...you don't have to be PC...but I thank you for the effort...thick skinned.
My personal approach is simple....keep it at the house, do whatever you want but don't parade it, ect and that goes for everyone.
Russian culture is unique as are all cultures.
