regarding “this liberal idea,” which included a remark that the push for greater LGBT rights can’t supercede traditional views.. In that discussion, he said that liberal views were “obsolete,” but that LGBTQ persons were fine with him.and Putin indicated that some LGBTQ actions “do appear excessive to us.”
“We have no problem with LGBT persons,” Putin insisted. “God forbid, let them live as they wish. But some things do appear excessive to us. They claim now that children can play five or six gender roles.” He added: “Let everyone be happy, we have no problem with that. But this must not be allowed to overshadow the culture, traditions and traditional family values of millions of people making up the core population.”
John responded on Instagram with a lengthy message and a photo of himself, his husband David Furnish and their two sons. The word “censored” was inserted across the photo’s center.,” John wrote. “I strongly disagree with your view that pursuing policies that embrace multicultural and sexual diversity are obsolete in our societies. I find duplicity in your comment that you want LGBT people to ‘be happy’ and that ‘we have no problem in that’.
“I am proud to live in a part of the world where our governments have evolved to recognise the universal human right to love whoever we want,” he continued. “And I’m truly grateful for the advancement in government policies that have allowed and legally supported my marriage to David. This has brought us both tremendous comfort and happiness.”
