(The Guardian) Putin has said, without providing any evidence, that in the west “even paedophilia is announced as a normal thing.”
He says the west recognises same sex marriage. He says “That’s fine. They’re adults. They have the right to live their lives. We are always very tolerant about this in Russia.” But, he says, scripture says marriage is between a man and a woman, and he also cites media reports that the Anglican church was considering gender neutral terms for God.
This is very familiar territory for a Putin speech. He accuses the west of trying to destabilise family life in Russia.
