At an FBI briefing in the 1980’s we were shown evidence that the KGB was actively supporting gay groups. It was a long term effort to destroy the American family and introduce communism and its principles into American society. A strong family and communism didn’t go together well. What they did was to introduce what today we call political correctness as a way to shut down opposition. Hate crime legislation codified this into law.
It looks as though they’ve succeeded. But Putin is trying to establish a strong family because Russia is desperately short of young people. Their population is heading towards collapse. (He has had some recent successes, though.)
Oh! The sun shines bright on my old Kasnoyarsk home,
Tis’ summer, the emojis are gay,
The vodka’s right and the Urals’ in the bloom,
Balalaikas make music all the day...
Weep no more, same-sexers,
Oh! weep no more today,
We will sing one song for my Old Kasnoyarsk Home,
For the Old Kasnoyarsk Home far away.
(sing it with me, we’ll have an oblast...)
