Ok Vitaly Milonov, listen up...ALL GAGA ASKED FOR WAS RESPECT! RESPECT! THAT'S IT! And YOU'RE putting words in her mouth. I haven't found anything yet that includes a quote by her saying that the Russian citizens 'must support sexual minorites', so don't say anything at all, asshole, of you're not going to tell the truth.
And FURTHERMORE, regarding your quote about creating a "false equivalence for them between traditional and non-traditional relationships"... FUCK YOU DUDE, ALL LOVING, COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS ARE EQUAL, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHO YOU ARE.
What the fuck does it mean to be conservative anyway? Does that mean you get to hog all the equality for yourself, shithead!? I don't fucking think so. I think a supremacist moved into your head and you need to tell him to leave. Who would want to be a supremacist? That's what you act like when you imply that some couples or communities are not as good as others, i.e. not EQUAL. And why are YOUR beliefs any BETTER than Lady Gaga's or those who agree with her? WHY?!
When I was 12, like the age group you are citing concern for regarding 'direct calls for 12-year-old citizens to support the LGBT"... guess what, things were told to me back then, too. Things like I shouldn't hate people because of the color of their skin, or the country they lived in, or their religion. I went along with it because ME, MYSELF, AND I believed it was a good way to think. But people also told me I shouldn't smoke, I should get married and start a family when I grow up, and I shouldn't watch South Park because of its subject matter.
Did I listen? NO!!! Because if a twelve year old gets it in their head that they are going to do something - whether it's deciding to keep LGBT down by not seeing them as equal, or they just say 'what the fuck, let's all just get along and be HAPPY together!' - THEY'RE GOING TO FUCKING THINK THAT WAY. Are young people subject to influence? Yes. But you know what, if they don't hear support - if not a simple call for RESPECT - for gay rights from their own government, then they will hear it from someone eventually, and they will make up their own minds whether or not they want to go along with it - whether YOU think it's a good idea or not. Hopefully, they grow up in a country that doesn't send them to fucking jail just for TALKING. That is SUCH bullshit.
End of Rant.
