Your English is worse than I thought. I was talking about the medical AIDS treatment. Course it must be equal to everybody and here in Russia it's really free - doesn't matter if you are a gay or a straight man. When I mentioned gays I meant that they are minority and the democratic majority would marginalize them, while in the constitutional republic the needs of minorities are tolerated by the majority. This is the deference between democracy and republic. Fuck, what do you learn in the US schools??? Some stupid bullshit like THIS ? Ok, now I see why you can't reach the outer space without Russian rockets...
