Taking a page from the playbook of American right-wingers, a Russian journalist claimed this weekend that the country's "gay activity" caused a meteorite to strike the Russian region of Chelyabinsk February 15.
Arkady Mamontov, who Kremlin-backed news outlet Ria Novosti calls a "famous journalist," claimed that the meteor that struck the central Russian province as a warning to Russians not to embrace "nontraditional sexual relationships," which a nationwide law banned the depiction of earlier this year.
On his Special Correspondent program, Mamontov said the strike should serve as a warning "to all of us that we should keep the family tradition, traditional love, or else something else not only the Chelyabinsk meteorite will hit us," according to Ria Novosti.
The Russian news report also notes that Mamontov served as the anchor for a recent "exposé" on the so-called homosexual agenda that aired on state-sponsored television last week. That biased video report, titled "Litsedei," Russian for "Hypocrites," included allegations that LGBT people in Russia exist only because of Western influence, and featured secretly recorded audio from a private October meeting of LGBT Russians with international human rights organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign, All Out, and and Human Rights Watch.

Isn't Mamon some big religious boogieman?
