Putin on Gay Rights

Here is today’s speech of Russia’s President Putin on the subject of gay marriage (translation is mine):

There is no discrimination against homosexuals in Russia. These. . . khm, khm. . . people [with a facial expression showing deep disgust] have jobs, they get raises at work, and even statewide prizes, if they deserve them. However, there will be no gay marriage in our country because such marriages do not produce children*. Here in Russia and in Europe, we are suffering from a demographic crisis. We want people to reproduce. And the people we want to reproduce are not immigrants. We want the “title nation” to reproduce**. . . The only countries that allow propaganda of homosexuality*** are the same countries that allow propaganda of pedophilia. We cannot allow this in Russia because if we legalize propaganda of pedophilia, there are regions that will organize an armed uprising.

This speech on Russian TV is followed by a long investigative report on Holland’s pedophiles.

* Putin’s marriage hasn’t produced any children in over 30 years and is not likely to do so in the future.

** The “title nation” means ethnic Russians. The ones who are blond and blue-eyed.

*** The expression “propaganda of homosexuality” in Russian means allowing gay teachers to work and gay people to appear on TV in any capacity. It also refers to the Gay Pride parade.

This is not far from Nazism.

  Thank you for noticing. There is a very rapid and scary slide towards Nazi-type nationalism in Russia.

    And Neo-Nazis are a strong force in Russia.

Couple of days ago, a bunch of naked women charged into Putin when he was visiting a tech conference here in Germany. Commenting on the situation afterwards, the media actually portrayed him as the voice of reason. Can you image this? Worst of all is, he was kind of right when he said that it’s better to keep one’s clothes on during protests… Sad, sad days.

  These unhinged Ukrainian pseudo-feminists somehow managed to achieve the impossible feat of making Putin look good. I suspect this was their goal all along. I will not be surprised to find out that they were paid to do this.

    What I found noteworthy was that their messages were suddenly in Russian, or at least not English, as they used to be.
    
    This group stages one media gig after another and is celebrated as a true force of revolution. This irks me to no end. I mean, can’t they see how artificial all this is?! But then again, these are the same people that hailed the election of Frau Merkel, a member of the christ-conversative party, as progressive, just because she is a woman.

      – I’m so happy to hear a voice of reason on this subject. You have no idea how tired I am of the idiotic celebration of these weirdos or the double standard applied to Merkel. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Poor, poor Putin is in for a surprise if he ever finds out about the existence of queer trans people who can in fact, produce children with their partners.
