A petition demanding the demolition of a statue of Russian Empress Catherine the Great to be replaced with a statue honoring gay U.S. porn star Billy Herrington has acquired enough signatures to ensure that it must be considered by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
As of the publication of this report, the petition, which comes months into Russia's war in Ukraine, had 25,786 signatures. It is required by law that any petition surpassing 25,000 signatures must be considered by the president of Ukraine. The petition must be considered within 10 days of reaching the required number of signatures.
The petition, started on May 20 by Ukrainian activist Oleksiy Yuriyovych Matveev, decries Catherine the Great as an oppressive figure to Ukrainians, claiming she "caused great damage to Ukrainian statehood and culture." He added, "The very fact of erecting this monument was a terrible mistake, and every day of its continued existence signals that Odessa is in the zone of Russian cultural influence."
The petition gives several reasons as to why a gay U.S. porn star should take her place, mainly that it will serve as a "renunciation of the infamous Russian heritage and a loud statement that Odessa is not some provincial town of the Russian Empire. That Odessa is not a part of Russian culture but has its own culture and sense of humor." He further added that the statue will be "a clear signal that Ukraine supports the LGBT community."

60 billion is a heckuva lot to pay for a statue.
So then I said, replace the statue, or your not getting the billion dollars.
Globohomo Uber Alles
Isn’t she the one reputed to have had sex with horses? So the change to a porn start would be? Irrelevant? Intended to offend fewer morals? Or what?
This is what you get for sending billions of US taxpayer money. GG.
How do you erect a status like that?
I guess Globohomo is real.
Any thoughts from the neocon crowd about this?
Putin is looking better and better.
Seems the war must be going really well if they have time to consider put forth frivolous nonsense like this.
Is this some kind of joke?
For some in the LGBT crowd, it seems that uninhibited expression of their sexuality; anything, anytime, anywhere, in front of any body, has become their New Pagan religion.
The old Pagan faiths include Green-Believers and Wannabe-Communists.
I don’t know about the horses, but history says that she had casual sex with quite a few men and had quite a few murdered, too.
With a “fluffer”?
Yeah, it was a joke. Zelensky was a professional comedian.
Pretty sure that was a famous but fake bit of calumny.
One such story claimed she died when a horse, suspended above her for the festivities, fell on her and crushed her.
Wikipedia has this:
Later, several rumors circulated regarding the cause and manner of her death. The most famous of these rumors is that she died after having sex with her horse. This rumor was widely circulated by satirical British and French publications at the time of her death. In his 1647 book Beschreibung der muscowitischen und persischen Reise (Description of the Muscovite and Persian journey), German scholar Adam Olearius claimed that Russians had a fondness for sodomy, especially with horses.[137] Olearius's claims about a supposed Russian tendency towards bestiality with horses was often repeated in anti-Russian literature throughout the 17th and 18th centuries to illustrate the alleged barbarous "Asian" nature of Russia. Given the frequency which this story was repeated together with Catherine's love of her adopted homeland and her hippophilia, it is likely that these details were conflated into this rumor. Catherine had been targeted for being an unmarried woman and for her opposition towards the French Revolution so this and the frequent gossip surrounding her love life may have contributed towards the rumors' spread.[138]
(”a clear signal that Ukraine supports the LGBT community.”)
This is a joke, right? Because there should be other priorities?
Yep replace the 18th century porn star with a modern one - no big deal. Cathi was a dirty RuZZian, so maybe the modern one is Ukrainian?
It’s sad that so many innocent Ukrainian people have succumbed to Putin’s war but I totally understand why Putin doesn’t want the world’s mafia (NWO) controlling and running a government that’s living on his doorstep.
