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 is a piece of crap KGB scum, but he is right on this.
Dammit.
Trump had nothing to do with this transgression.
The current Ambassador is John J. Sullivan (a Bushie from Boston).
Leni
ROFLMAO!!
And he is likely partly right, as homos get preferential employment advantages these days.
There are a zillion good legit Christians. Why do people (rightly) dogpile on pro-abortion "Christians" like Pelosi et al but slobber all over and defend a fake Christian thug?
It can only be Jared.
I’m not doubting the broken clock axiom. I’d rather give a cheery two thumbs up to a consistent and devout Christian.
Our State Department is full of fags and foreign nationals. Which is a dangerous cocktail for a future war with Russia.
Let me know when France, Germany, and the U.K. stop being pussies about funding their militaries. They don’t seem very concerned about Russia at all. Racism, Sexism, and climate change are the most important issues for those countries.
The United States owes no nation on earth their security. That goes double for American nationals, that want protection in foreign countries. If you live in a foreign country long enough, you are no longer an American.
