MOSCOW, Russia, July 6, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that a “gay pride” flag flying at the U.S. embassy in Moscow indicates the people working there are homosexuals.
When Putin was told during a televised video conference that the U.S. embassy had a pride flag hanging from the front of its building to celebrate Pride month in June, he asked, “Who works in this building?” When the president was told “Americans,” he responded, “Let them celebrate.”
“They’ve shown a certain something about the people who work there,” he added with a smile, according to The Moscow Times, seeming to suggest that flying the rainbow flag could be a reflection of the embassy workers’ homosexuality or transgenderism.
During a video conference on Friday, Putin also said “we passed a law banning the propaganda of homosexuality among minors. So what? Let people grow up, become adults and then decide their own destinies.”
In a statement, the U.S. embassy explained the “LGBTI flag was created by American artist and activist Gilbert Baker and was first raised as a symbol of hope and diversity on June 25, 1978, during the Gay Freedom Day parade in San Francisco.”
The embassy then mentioned that “June is Pride Month and we celebrate that everyone deserves to live a life free from hatred, prejudice, and persecution.”
Ambassador John J. Sullivan, who went to a Catholic high school, commented, “LGBTI rights are human rights. And human rights are universal. It’s as simple as that.” He did not explain why homosexuals and people claiming to be a member of the opposite sex need special rights they don’t already have as human beings.

Putin fears our gay Ninjas who would attack with their pink slippers and sharp pencils.
America needs homosexuals representing our nation abroad like it needs Joe Biden and his replacement in the White House.
Fwiw, his über-fixation on da gayz makes me think the lady doth protest too much.
Soon, it will be required on all school and public buildings.

I’d like to see every patriot in the South, and everywhere else in the country for that matter, who cherishes our First Amendment rights to acquire two flags: the Stars and Stripes and the Confederate battle flag, and fly them both during the month of April, which is Southern History month.
And maybe he could be interpreted as US is sissy, and will get it in the (rear) end.
Asking for it, so to speak.
My kind of patriot, fortes fortuna juvat.
Deo Vindice !
If only the "Christian" United States would say such a thing. There's an irony to the fact that the "Christian" United States has destabilized the Middle East to the point where the Christians there had to flee for their lives or end up being martyred. (And the guy who led us into that schit show wore his Christianity on his sleeve.)
“...For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,
And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”
(New Testament, Romans 1: 26, 27)
“Can’t have a Confederate flag at NASCAR but US Embassy flies a Gay pride, unreal.”
Soon the American flag will be illegal.
Yep, Putin did a nice job of protecting them Ukrainian Christians.
Who ordered the flag raised?
The ambassador should be replaced unless the order came from above him.
Putin would fly the rainbow flag over the Kremlin and force-stream Brokeback Mountain across Russian TV if he thought it would secure and consolidate more power for him. This guy is a lying snake and any "conservative" who applauds his faux Christian values is likely jockeying for Vlad to pick them last in the organ harvesting.Fwiw, his über-fixation on da gayz makes me think the lady doth protest too much.
THANK YOU. The adoration for Putin in this thread is a little disturbing. He's one of the most dangerous men alive, and an avowed enemy of our country.
Trump admin tells U.S. embassies they can't fly pride flag on flagpoles
So whoever did it was insubordinate.
The ambassador needs to go.
+1
The U.S. Embassy had NO BUSINESS flying a flag denoting supporting for the gay lifestyle. Promoting perversion is not, I believe, a part of their official business.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I’ve no fondness for Putin, but in this one instance, I agree with him.
“Gay Pride”
Frankly, homosexuals should be discriminated against and homosexual acts be illegal everywhere.
You sound like a homosexual defender with that statement, they always use that language.
He better watch out. He could get banned from Twitter for saying things like that.
