Will Russia bring its war on LGBTQ people to Ukraine?
Los Angeles Times ^ | 3/3/2023 | KATE LINTHICUM

Posted on 10/13/2022 1:21:49 AM PDT by NeverCheney

Zi Faámelu wants to escape the war in Ukraine, but her identity will not let her.

The 31-year-old singer, who is transgender, has a passport that says she is male, the sex assigned to her at birth, and Ukraine has prohibited men of fighting age from leaving the country.

That paradox has left Faámelu hunkered inside her Kyiv apartment as missiles soar all around her. She is considering following other transgender women who have crossed into Poland illegally through the woods in the week since Russia invaded.

“Already we were fighting for our lives,” she said. “And now we’re actually in war.”

Faámelu is anxious to leave now. She knows that under a Russian occupation, life could deteriorate quickly for LGBTQ people like her.

“It is a very bleak situation for trans people in Ukraine,” Faámelu said. “But in Russia, it’s even worse.”

Not my biggest issue by a long shot. LA Times is garbage journalism in a yellow bag.

The tranny should go volunteer to fight the Russians if they are so worried about losing their rights to be creepy weirdos

You ain’t fighting for nothing. You are just letting others do the fighting for you.

“ the sex assigned to her at birth ”

Nah, just reprobate minds telling lies to the public; powered by the spirit of antichrist.

I will submit that Ukraine has far larger concerns over mental illness, such as imminent annihilation from Russian WWII-grade bombardment.

Official American Govt. Values. Our Asst Sec. of Health supports genital mutilation of children. Our DOE boss for nuclear waste likes to dress in leather for "puppy play" with other men, aka, "doggy style."

They represented the U.S. govt at the French Embassy on Bastille Day. This was a "statement" to the world.

Folks, "Globo Homo" is a real thing. And Russians don't want it. This is why Globo Homo also hates Victor Orbon, leader of Hungary. Everybody must accept Globo Homo, or be an enemy facing annihilation.

Our nation is in such trouble, it boggles the mind.

This is a repeat of Genesis chapter 19; for all intents and purposes.

Granted, it’s happening all over the globe, too.

"such as imminent annihilation from Russian WWII-grade bombardment."

Utter bull$hit. Russian missiles are targeting energy and other key infrastructure nodes. In the first day, 14 civilians were announced as killed by over 100 missiles. Many more civilians have been killed in Donetsk City from Ukrainian shelling in the past 6 months.

Compare the Russian missile campaign to "Shock and Awe" in Iraq. More than 100,000 civilians died in that war, a war of lies over WMDs that did not exist.

For comparison, this is what "WW2 level bombing" looks like:

Dresden, a purely civilian target of pure terror bombing.

The globohomos will not rest until every child is able to attend a tranny story hour at their local library.
