Not surprising in our increasingly-Godless society. Satan just had to repackage old lies as being "hip" and "cool" and "trendy" - About 3 weeks ago, had some guy telling me how he and his wife spent some trip down in the Bahamas area with some guy and "his husband" - I guess he thought I was going to be impressed or something.

Come and find me, my name is Makarenko
Always at the beach con los chicos que son homos
Come join me
Beat up with me
And all you fellows chant along with me

Ah those Ukrainians. Just wild and crazy guys.

Those ociffers gave it deep thought and decided a people who elected Zelensky couldn’t possibly be guilty of beating up gays.

And Romans 1… a descent into utter depravity where mothers have no natural love for children. We are not at the bottom of human depravity, so it’s coming. Satanic abortion temples in our country. Even demons fear God because they know their sin.

It’s well established that “marginalized” people in this country often...routinely...make false accusations.Of course in some jurisdictions false accusations are taken as truthful by cops and prosecutors....blue states/counties/cities. But in others all such claims are viewed,at least at first,with a somewhat skeptical eye.

More likely they got a phone call from the Biden Administration telling them that they need to STAY IN THEIR LANE regarding anything to do with Ukrainians.

I was kind of being silly.

I agree with your reasoning though.

All it takes for you to go pro-’globohomo’ is for Ukrainians to be accused of NOT liking queers?

As I have always said, I have no problem and have never disliked Ukrainian people. I have the same attitude toward Russia.
It is the governments that are the problem.

These people have their own opinions on homos . Must be the Russian in them.
