From an hideously right wing source, but know your enemy.
I expect they are telling the truth about what they are doing.
Homosexuals Not Allowed in Newly Opened Bakery
https://russian-faith.com/news/homosexuals-not-allowed-newly-opened-bakery-n2150
An anti-homosexual bakery has been opened in Kemerovo, Russia. Same-sex couples are not allowed to be customers there. The owners call the business,Bread from a Russian Oven, by the Ipatov Brothers. One of the owners of the bakery, Anton Ipatov, says that so far he has heard only praise about his business.
"If there is a fire on the ship, and everyone else is just going to bars and getting drunk, quietly minding their own business, then everyone will burn on that ship", explains Ipatov.
The co-owner believes that the appearance of such a place is a reason to start talking about homosexuality. He says that homosexuals discriminate against normal people, in favor of perversions, radically undermining the system of family values.
"Ipatov adheres to this point of view for a reason, and submits to the laws of God, writes one commenter.
One of the notable advantages of the bakery is its natural way of making bread. The manufacturer claims that the flour is ground by stone millstones, stored in wooden barns, and in general the wheat is environmentally friendly. Instead of sugar, the bakery uses honey in its bread and makes a yeast from real hops.
That is the whole article not an excerpt.
Merely to discriminate is not illegal in Russia and would not normally be news.
These guys are doing it specifically to drum up publicity for the anti-gay cause.
And of course religion is behind it.

(113,005 posts)News reports about the roving thugs beating gays in Russia in the lead up to 2014 Winter Olympics. Russia was crawling with reporters from all over the world and he made sure law enforcement ignored the widespread attacks. It endeared him to the rightwing extremists and fundamentalists in America.....just as he calculated.

It is all about authorian power through hatred - great church!
Campaign of Hate: Russia and Gay Propaganda - the film, is over 5 years old.
Out media wrote, "This film isn't Lucas walking away from Russia, but a clear-eyed, unsentimental look at a country that demonize LGBTs in a concerted, violent, and dangerous way for political gain"
