5:26Now PlayingThe Russian edition of Maxim has recently published an article called “Gays We Respect.” Russia passed very strict anti-gay laws, and spreading “gay propaganda” is a crime in the country, yet this article toes the line between pro and anti gay depending on your point of view. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), and Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?!) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Is this article making fun of Russia’s policies or is it actually anti-gay? Let us know in the comments below.

“In an article headlined “Gays We Respect,” the Russian edition of men’s magazine Maxim has “forgiven” a list of famous actors, authors and musicians for their sexual orientation.
“We, men, do not consider men who love men to be men. This is the rule,” the introduction to the post reads. “But there are exceptions. There are gays who have earned our respect and the right to remain real men in our eyes.”
These “exceptions” include actors Ian McKellen and Neil Patrick Harris, who the magazine has “forgiven” for their sexual orientation due to their onscreen roles.”
