So because you've seen it, it doesn't exist. Have you seen an interracial couple kiss in public? It's about giving same-sex couples the right to show affection the way straight couples do should they so choose (and not be incriminated for it), even if not every single couple will exercise that right (just like every straight couple does not kiss or hold hands in public either).
If I understand it correctly, it shouldn't be a problem to the law, but it will be to the culture.
Here's a question: what if a gay athlete decides to kiss his male partner or her female partner at the Olympics, say, after they compete? Will this be construed as a political statement or homosexual propaganda and is this forbidden by the IOC/Russians?
We have seen two straight Russian female athletes kiss on the podium already. It is not a problem. Two men kissing briefly on the lips seems the custom of some of their ethnic groups when they are greeting each other. As of two male athletes kissing on the lips passionately after the win in front of the camera, I'd think that they would yuck a great deal to the majority of the Russian people as well as the most people in front of the TV around the world more than the kissers would succeed in their purpose of demonstration. I'd think that IOC and the Russian government would not jump into such silly non-sense of kissing contest. If that's what you want...
