Vladimir Putin: It’s My “Duty” To Stop Gay Marriage

In an interview with Oliver Stone, Putin declared "God has decided."

Vladimir Putin claims it’s his “duty” to stop gay people from getting married.

In an interview with Oliver Stone airing on Showtime this week, the Russian president explained that, as head of state, he was obligated “to uphold traditional values and family values.”

His reasoning? “Because same-sex marriages will not produce any children. God has decided, and we have to care about birth rates in our country. We have to reinforce families.”

“But,” he added, “that doesn’t mean that there should be any persecutions against anyone.”

Repression of Russia’s LGBT community is well-documented, but Putin has continually denied queer people face persecution. Talking with Stone, he claimed Russia is “liberal-minded to a great extent,” and insisted gay Russians are under no particular threat.

The lack of really accurate abortion reporting is a concern, both in Russia and the USA. IIRC,in the US California and New York -— the highest aborters on this country — don’t even report to the CDC.

The graph of Russian abortions would look like the Himalaya mountains. But they’ve made the descent from Mt. Everest. It’s still way up there, far from sea level, but the highest peaks are behind them.

The irony is that Putin is more “Christian” than the Pope or any of the fake “protestant” church bureaucrats in the rest of the world!

Read this story and then spend sometime googling. Most gays are adopting children to use them as sex toys.

Genesis 19:24
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

Talk about persecuting queers.

Trump has not done one thing about the sodomization of the US Armed Forces. Not one thing. It’s goes on full steam ahead.

This thread gives an inaccurate view of what it is to be a Russian living in Russia.

Slice of life from there:

A gangster’s wife, who has bought her driving license and doesn’t know how to drive, hits a 6 year old boy with her car. Police shows up and after seeing who the people involved are declares the boy having been drunk and the cause of the accident.

Now it is nice to be the gangster or the gangster’s wife in this environment, but not the grandfather of this boy.

I think the life expectancy of homosexuals with HIV is around 70.

Most generalizations do somebody wrong.

However as I said, I think it’s an injustice for gay couples to adopt, not because I suspect them all of disgusting abuse , but simply because they cannot provide for their children a wholesome, honorable male/female model. Normally kids need a mother and a father, married to each other.

Rather than a couple, I think a celibate gay could be much more acceptable, because he,/she could model honorable celibacy. (The definition for “honorable,” celibacy, whether for heterosexuals or homosexuals, requires chaste singleness.)
