No, gay marriage in Russia is absolutely unthinkable, and being a gay is widely considered a perversion. Though, many younger people don't care.
Being a gay is considered to be a purely sexual behavior, as all other aspects (mutual care, living together, etc.) generally fall within the term 'friendship' between men. So if you say you love your friend - that's fine as long as you describe it as non-sexual one; if you say you are a gay - you said that you fuck your friend. Because of this, gays compromise old and traditional definitions of friendship (they introduce sexual aspect into relationships between men), and marriage (you can't have kids between man and man, and that's what family is - so you make family just to have sex). Such things are in the foundations of society. It's a totally bad idea to try to change them. Anywhere on the world, not just in Russia.
For objective talk - homosexuality is not considered a perversion, that is a real perversion. Genetic disorder, heredity - doesn't matter. And, IMHO, also doesn't matter, who you fuck - man, woman, or blue sheep, but not in case when your sexual imaginations becomes an advertised and fashionable hobby with public show, like in Europe.
I do not understand why ordinary people sexual orientation should protect the rights of gays. I think that in the future heterosexual white male trebuyuet protection.
In Russia (and in Ukraine, actually, I'm from Ukraine) the situation with gays is not so far from Ugandan. The majority really hates them but cannot explain why. People hide behind some nonsense upon stilts (you can hear the religious reasons from atheistic persons, for example - and Orthodox ideology has much in common with Islamic) It is Neanderthal way of thinking: "If i don't understand something, I'm afraid of it. If I'm afraid of it, I have to destroy it"
Hate without explanation is the worst kind. There are plenty of people who are intelligent and kind but simply disagree with this lifestyle for religious reasons. I respect, but disagree, with their viewpoint. I'm friends with many such people.
