On Putin's Statement:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi questioned Putin's views on equality.
"What I found interesting was the closing [referring to Putin's Statement] -- when he says when we pray to God he judges us all - I don't know exactly what his words are but he says `we are all God's children.' I think that's great. I hope it applies to gays and lesbians in Russia as well," Pelosi said.
Putin signed a law earlier this year that bans public discussion of gay rights and relationships where children might hear it. Violators can be fined and, if they are foreigners, deported.
