Putin Goes On Anti-LGBTQ Rant During Ukraine Speech To Russian Parliament

[Webster]

(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.

Well thats very tolerant of him to say.

But, he says, scripture says marriage is between a man and a woman,

So? Books are books. This is real life.

Don't shoot the reporter!
Apparently, though, it seems Russia is trying to set itself up as bastion of Western civilization defending itself from the sodomies of the West or some other stuff....

Easily why Russia is one of the most dangerous countries to live in. There you can easily be killed if you're not cis or straight, which is despicable.

I hear living in the big city (Moscow) is a little more tolerant but people who live in the middle of nowhere have that mob mentality.
