Putin’s Homophobia Is Advancing LGBTQ Rights in Ukraine
Politico ^ | 3/7/23 | J. Lester Feder

J. Lester Feder is a journalist and senior fellow with the global LGBTIQ organization Outright International, which is supporting 27 queer organizations in Ukraine through the war.

KYIV — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has galvanized Ukrainian society in many unexpected ways, but perhaps one of the most remarkable is how it has advanced the rights of LGBTQ people.

On Tuesday, in a move that would have been nearly unthinkable a year ago, a Ukrainian lawmaker introduced legislation in the country’s parliament that would give partnership rights to same-sex couples. This legislation, along with a prohibition against anti-LGBTQ hate speech abruptly adopted in December, reflects a sharp rejection of Russia’s effort to weaponize homophobia in support of its invasion.

Anyone who does not celebrate the Alphabet Mafia will be considered a hater, unclean, and worthy of shunning. They will be isolated and targeted as were Jews in Hitler’s world.

I will change my mind on homosexuality NOT being a sin when God changes His. In the meantime, I hope as many people who struggle with this issue will turn to God and find their way out, as there is forgiveness and new life.

Bull Caca: the poofters and transtwits and their champions in the culture would be laboring to advance their patch of Hell no matter what opposition they may face.

They just like to offer excuses to cover what they would already be doing.

I seriously doubt that Russia plays any role in Ukraine’s rush into the dark side of human behavior (homosexuality and all it’s various forms). I suspect it is the fruit of years of being on the DOJ tit.

“Putin’s Homophobia Is Advancing LGBTQ Rights in Ukraine”

I can’t help but wonder if average Ukrainians are to look at the Russians more as liberators than invaders, given what their own government is now pushing in their faces.

Flat out lie. Homo is being pushed by the west if Zelensky wants money and weapons. Has nothing to do with Russia.

There is no country left that isn’t being bullied by the west to embrace Globohomo.
***********
Think of it this way — if Putin was a globohomo communist and Zelensky was fan of Trump, Ukraine would be burnt toast and Lindsey Graham would be yawning it off.

What many of us expect is behind the support of the Ukraine. Putin is hateful for other reasons, but the western opposition against him is largely revolved around both the false election interference claim and his adversity to gays.

Yes.

the fine line between homophobia and homophilia is apparently the Don River.

Sorry I thought you were referring to a different post. But yes they are human beings.

We should hope and pray for their redemption.
