Reuters: Putin mocks U.S. embassy for flying rainbow flag

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Friday mocked the U.S. embassy in Moscow for flying a rainbow flag to celebrate LGBT rights, suggesting it reflected the sexual orientation of its staff.

His comments followed a nationwide vote on constitutional reforms that included an amendment enshrining the definition of marriage specifically as a union between a man and a woman.

Putin said the U.S. embassy’s move to raise the LGBT pride flag “revealed something about the people that work there”.

“It’s no big deal though. We have spoken about this many times, and our position is clear,” said Putin, who has sought to distance Russia from liberal Western values and aligned himself with the Russian Orthodox Church.

The LGBT commenting at Joe My God carried the liberal line of the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). I pointed out that military spending is or should be based as starting point on the Quadrannial Defense Review (QDR). That was one fact too far; I was banned. Some of them former military but it didn't matter. After DADT was gone, all of the sudden QDR was in their vocabulary, very strange, as if they had discussed it for years.

I have not seen talk of the QDR at JMG. They may talk about it. Scanning blogposts once a year and you could miss it. Yet, I was there reviewing a page of blogposts at JMG today. They were always cocky (no pun intended), self-assured, and full of themselves. But now all you have to do is pick up CNN or MSLSD to know what they think. They have have sunk to a Perez Hilton level of dialogue. Their group IQ has fallen that much.

LGBT are not currently driving the agenda although they are there. BLM and the race industrial complex (RIC) is. But they are still there on the flank or in reserves supporting the main 'critical theory' effort du jour.

So while LGBT might not be out their n the spotlight today, they are still out there tearing things up.

... cuz according to them it is pre-Stonewall conditions.

Every body has the right to have the way of life its want. That said, promoting LGBT right has not more right than promoting heterosexual right too.

Promoting a heterosexual lifestyle is healthy.

Promoting a homosexual lifestyle not so much.
