Vladimir Putin: Person of the Year in U.S. Gay Magazine
By Julio
Severo
The Advocate, the oldest homosexual magazine in
the U.S., has sarcastically announced
that its 2014 Person of the Year is Vladimir Putin, seen by Patheos, an American
atheist website, as “the horrifically homophobic president of Russia and a
committed opponent of all things pro-LGBT.”
The Advocate got a lot of attention last year when
it made Pope
Francis its Person of the Year because of his less conservative comments
on homosexual issues. In no way the homosexual magazine treated sarcastically
the Pope.
This
year, the magazine had other pro-sodomy candidates, especially Apple CEO Tim
Cook, who came out as a homosexual recently. Instead of pro-sodomy personalities,
The Advocate wanted as its Person of
the Year a leader opposed to the gay agenda. “The Russian president became the
single greatest threat to LGBTs in the world in 2014,” the magazine proclaimed.
“Putin
is one of the most despicable creatures on the face of the earth,” said another
American homosexual magazine, Queerty.
The Advocate blasted the Russian president by
saying that the source for his anti-sodomy “crusade” is his experience as a KGB
officer. It says, “Since winning a third term in 2012, Putin has become ever
more autocratic, and his antigay ideology ever more extreme. In June 2013, he
signed the infamous antigay propaganda bill that criminalizes the ‘distribution
of information… aimed at the formation among minors of nontraditional sexual
attitudes,’ with nontraditional meaning anything other than heterosexual.
Individual violators are fined anywhere between $120 and $150, while NGOs and
corporations can incur fines as high as $30,000.”
According
to Pew Research’s 2014 Global Attitudes Project, 72% of Russians think
homosexuality is morally unacceptable. This shows also the increasing power of
the Russian Orthodox Church, which between 1991 and 2008 saw the number of
adults calling themselves Orthodox Christians increase from 31% to 72%. In July
2013, Patriarch Kirill I, leader of the church, called homosexual “marriage” a “very
dangerous sign of the apocalypse,” a sentiment that appeals also to other
Christians and conservatives around the world.
U.S.
and European outrage at the Russian law flared in the months before and during
the Sochi Olympics.
While
Decision magazine, a publication of the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, praised the Russian law under fire, even Google felt
free to mock Russians by putting homosexual symbols in its website to directly
confront Russia during Sochi Olympics. Its mockery was aimed at the Russian law
banning gay propaganda to children.
“Google
has made a clear and unequivocal statement that Russia’s anti-LGBT
discrimination is indefensible,” said Human Rights Campaign President Chad
Griffin, whose Washington-based gay group has been lobbying American
corporations to condemn the Russian law (whose punishment is fines, not death)
signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Can
you visualize a similar campaign against the Saudis, who do not fine, but kill
homosexuals?
The
US government also mocked Russians. Obama did not go to Sochi and made sure
that the world understood his decision: he sent prominent gay athletes to Sochi.
He showed no interest in Russian children and their well-being and protection.
His only worry was to show support to the gay agenda. In fact, this is the top
priority of his foreign policy. Homosexuality first, children later…
After
Sochi came the perfect conflict, engendered (also by U.S. and EU geopolitical
interests) to keep the anti-Russian hatred, but with a different reason:
Ukraine. Before the Ukrainian crisis, the reason for the hatred was the anti-sodomy
law in Russia. After the crisis, the reason for the hatred was masked.
Interestingly,
Saudi Arabia, the greatest Islamic ally of the U.S., is a notorious torturer
and killer of homosexuals. According to William Murray, Saudi Arabia is also a funding
center of Islamic terror in the world.
If
the U.S. government and media are worried about homosexuals being tortured and
killed, why are not they punishing Saudi Arabia?
If
the U.S. government and media are worried about Islamic terror being funded
around the world, why are not they punishing Saudi Arabia?
To
portray Putin as “Hitler” is an unfounded and classical misrepresentation homosexual
militants use against anyone who dares to oppose their tyrannical agenda.
According
to The Pink Swastika, Hitler’s German
military elite was homosexual. A German book by Lothar Machtan
says that Hitler himself was homosexual. Under him, homosexual military sadists
were protected.
Mein Kampf, Hitler’s biography, is not a
bestseller in Russia. But it is a bestseller in Muslim nations, including in
another ally of the U.S., Turkey.
Turkey
does not need a law banning homosexual propaganda, because they already kill
homosexuals. Would the U.S. government be happy about an American homosexual magazine
portraying Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as Hitler?
For
friends, everything, including immunity. For enemies, nothing?
What
about The Advocate moving their
headquarters to Saudi Arabia or Turkey to experience fresh air of “free speech”?
What
about The Advocate portraying homosexual-killing
Islamic leaders in Saudi Arabia and Turkey as Nazi? Probably they would not be
displeased at being depicted as Hitler’s fans. But I am not sure if they would
be pleased at attacks by homosexuals.
The Advocate is very lucky that Putin is not a
ruler in Saudi Arabia or Turkey.
And Western
nations are unlucky that they have no conservative political leader better than
Putin.
