All true and facts.

Putin hates gays too.

It would be more accurate to say he disapproves of sodomy, as do many people, including myself.

Christian Bible (Leviticus quoting Moses): "It is abomination" "he who lays with a man must be put to death"
Islam (Koran): "Kill the one who is doing it, and the one he is doing it to"
Orthodox Judaism: "Better to die than commit sodomy"

I vaguely remember reading that Sikhism disapproves of it too.

I think Putin is a bit stronger than just disapproving of it.

You don't like Putin because he's white, same reason you don't like Trump and Robinson. Russia actually isn't as tough on gays as many other countries.
