Another quote, this time from Alexei Arestovych in Ukraine:

LGBT is not about “… people aren’t allowed to love each other and they need help”, but about an extremely aggressive ultra-left ideology that takes full advantage of the cancel culture and tries to install this culture and sexual deviations as a social norm for us in our country.

My position is clear:

– feel free to love whomever you want. Your rights are protected in the same way as those of any citizen of Ukraine.

But I will not allow sexual deviancy to be established as the norm.

Everybody everywhere civilized is against persecuting, hassling or bothering people for being gay. But stop sticking gender-fluid pronouns and “transitions” into books for first-graders, is what I say.

Leaving that aside, look at the way he’s wording the message. “I will not allow.” This is not an error of translation. This is a person expressing agency and taking responsibility for what is happening in his country.
