They probably don’t see it that way. In Russia, in the prisons, homosexuals—or people accused of it— are routinely raped and forced to sleep next to the toilets. The rapists do not consider themselves gay, for reasons I cannot fathom.
This also occurs frequently and systematically in the Russian military, but even worse, as young conscripts are homosexually hazed and tortured by more senior soldiers/officers. Again, this is not considered “gay”.
A Russian military man on Telegram once commented, defending an incident where a Russian soldier was forced to commit fellatio on other soldiers, saying that it was a “punishment between men” and meant to instill discipline where a soldier had allegedly been a coward.
How any of this makes sense without them being homosexual, I have no idea.
It makes perfect sense to me.
biggest toughest faggots get to claim they are not faggots even though they are faggots.
I think it’s pretty much the same in U.S. prisons too.
As long as you are the giver and not the recipient, you are not "gay".
In some cultures, it was not the same-sex contact which made one a homosexual; it was whether or not one was the pitcher or the catcher.
IIRC classical Rome was like this.
I heard it was also normal in the Afghan military. Michael Yon had an article on it a few years ago.
It occurs frequently and systematically in US prisons and the rapists don’t consider themselves gay.
