Bulwark writer Cathy Young, who was born in Moscow and is a good source for viewing Russian politics through the appropriate lens, writes that this is clearly intended as a distraction from Ukraine

I hate to say this, but in fairness to Putin, most of the significant Russian losses have been within their elite Drag battalions.

Still, no one can gay up an army the way the British do:

This is so smart of Putin. He can Run against DeSanctimonious and Ol' Swampy Trump as the MAGA leader who gets things done!

The GQP nomination is all but his!

Gay individuals in general are Nature's reserve army to take care of children who lose their parents or whose parents reject them. Any society that values children will benefit greatly from their active support. Quite apart from the overall societal benefit of people not being forced to pretend that they are something which they are not.

In basic training in the Russian military, male on male rape is used as a disciplinary tool, or perhaps better as an instrument of terror. This is not considered "gay," though, since its object is to produce suffering, not pleasure.

In a way, LGBTQIA+ doesn't exist, because sexuality is a continuous spectrum covering ALL alignments seamlessly (SLGBTQIA+ ?) where the only red lines are where your behaviour violates the rights of others. In other words, once you pass the "informed consent" test (which protects the underaged as well since they can't legally consent), the state should be kindly invited to fuck right off.

And that's on the internet, in movies, in books, literally just anywhere.

And I’m sure all the muskrats who have been slobbering over Elon’s brave stance on free speech are really really, outraged by this.

Yeah, even now rape is being used as a terror tactic in Ukraine.

Well, all the different types of Jewish, Muslim and Christers, so it seems they picked six and made them official

I never had to be propagandized into knowing I was CisHet so I'm sure it works the same way in the other direction. But then again, putzes like Putin are probably well aware of this.

Sure, the more division and rancor in the GQP the better for freedom! But I suspect Bolton is the one candidate who would literally get almost zero votes from anybody, left, right or center. Who's up for another war or five?
