WTF?!?

1. transsexual and transgender people...

Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.

Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.

The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.

"Pathological" gambling and compulsive stealing are also on the list. Russian psychiatrists and human rights lawyers have condemned the move.

2. given the problem of

alcoholism in Russia, maybe they should start to help treat alcoholics and stop them from driving instead of attacking the LGBTQ community?

9. Putin is a horrible human

I don't understand how any liberal can support him. His position on lgbt issues is enough for me to hate him. Seriously if he cured ebola I would still hate him.
