The guy who said yes to lesbians and no to gay men… yikes. Edit: I can’t believe I have to say this, but so many responses to my comment just don’t get it. We don’t want our value to be measured by how *arousing* we are to you. It’s degrading. We are people, not sex fantasies.

Have you ever been on the spot and said something you wish you could have said differently? The person she was with corrected her and she was agreeable.
Situation of LGBT+ people is similar in some other slavic countries such as Poland, Belarus and Ukraine (I'm not sure about Ukraine). Also I've heard that it's not so good for them in Hungary. I am from Poland and I know many people who say LGBT+ people should be "cured" from their different sexual orientation and if that fails they should be killed. I don't know why people think that way. I'm not sure, but I've also heard that the president of Belarus said that gays don't exist or something like that. I am tolerant and supportive in 100% and I don't understand the other point of view. ;/
I'm going to be full honest: People don't have to necessarily support and understand it, you cannot understand everything. But what people have to do in all cases is, in my opinion, to respect that it's their life and they can do whatever they want. They won't hurt anyone else with it, so why calling them names? This is the only thing I want from people. To just let them be.
Babe, unfortunately that's not how its goes. In a personel perspective, I would totally agree with you but these people someday are gonna vote for us to get the right to marry. That's why they should be not "not bothered" but "seeing it "normal" ". That's why we are showing this much of visibility and still educating cis heterosexuals.
I respect it and they can do whatever they want. But when it's being pushed on my nose by advertising every day i become frustrated and it makes me want to hate them. I feel like I'm being preasured from the EU and US to love them not just tolerate/respect them.

@@neocamplays2575 Sorry for picking holes but Christianity does not devaluate gay people on the fundamental level. Some people are born that way (despite the fact that propaganda makes many heterosexuals consider themselves to be of a different orientation, which is unfortunate) so it's not the judgement of whether you are predisposed to be homosexual, but of how you control your predisposition and the way you refrain from having sex with people of your own gender, which is in turn considered a sin. Again, sorry for being wordy and I hope you knew it and just phrased it in a slightly wrong way. I am also Christian, if anything ;)
I think it's important in these situations the effect that environment has on peoples opinions. Though I am in no way defending the views of the anti-LGBT answerers, I know that theres a high chance that if they grew up in a more accepting area, a more open family, and was pushed to look into to it and think more themselves, their opinions may be much different than they are now.
I sometimes kinda do understand these people sometimes. The peer pressure to not to support LGBT. It just becomes more like a rabbithole, or maybe it is not that deep and I am just thinking overly. Idk.
I love my country where people who retweet news about demonstrations go to jail, and people who openly say that they want to burn other people are just walking in the streets.
@@ImaginaryRebellion вообще тут ещё надо оценивать к каким конкретно действиям. Если это акции протеста, то у нас в стране характер организации митингов разрешительный (хотя я лично выступал и выступаю за уведомительный), соответственно только с разрешения мэрии города люди имеют право провести митинг (подобный характер более свойственен авторитарным государством, каковым, собственно, и является нынешняя Россия). Сейчас коронавирусные ограничения, поэтому все многолюдные собрания запрещены, это понимаемо и логика властей здесь вполне ясна (хотя наблюдая за будущими их действиям становится ясно, что логика у них одна - не дать оппозиции провести митинг, эпидемия тут не причем, она к слову) - не дать распространиться коронавирусу. Но что меня всегда поражало в той структуре власти, которую за 21 год выстроил Владимир Владимирович - это то, насколько избирательно и неправомерно действуют органы по отношению к "не своим". После митингов были проведены: митинг по 7-летию по воссоединению Крыма с Российской Федерацией, где было не менее 9 тысяч участников, на многочисленных видео- и фотосъёмкам прекрасно видно что огромное кол-во людей вообще без средств индивидуальной защиты, соответственно подвержены трелтворному влиянию вируса; Алые Паруса - собрание выпускников, на котором присутствовало не менее 20 тысяч человек (от которого, кстати, если следите за статистикой заболевания Санкт-Петербурга, сильно скаканула смертность и общая заболеваемость, хотя позже её начало нехило подтирать), кто-то получил по шапке за организацию этого действа? Нет; ПМЭФ - без комментариев; Парад ВМФ - ещё один способ умертвить несколько сотен или тысяч человек (всё с легкой руки Шойгу и его предвыборного пиара); Крестный ход (на этих всё равно, они всё равно всегда желали быть поближе к Богу, разве что детей жаль). Короче, подобное избирательное законодательство, которые влечёт к дичайшему расслоению общества и его "кипению", - это то, против чего в первую очередь надо выступать, подобная чушь была и до коронавируса с выборами, экономическими проектами, просто эпидемия проявила эту гниль на 100%. Я, кстати, вообще против митингов в нынешней ситуации, поэтому солидарен с тем же Явлинским. А насчёт слов парня - он вполне мог и имплементировать свои злостные идеи. Он же писался с гомосексуалом и даже предлагал ему встретиться. А что бы произошло, не слейся тот бедный пацан, переписывавшийся с ним? Может быть мы бы получили очередное убийство или, как минимум, избиение и унижение толпой на одного. А о расследованиях убийств представителей сексуальных меншинств в России впору басни слагать - это прямо ода предвзятости и нарушению правоохранительными органами РФ принципа равноправия в уголовном и административном правах.

Watching this is heartbreaking, when people would “press that button” even if their own kids are one of “them”. Basically it shows their true colours 😂 But on the other hand it’s great to see so many supporting and not being judgemental while living under a suppressive regime. We need to break the stigma.
Well, the interviewer does not specify but to me it sounded the way as if homosexual people would become heterosexual and not die, so it's not as horrifying as it might seem
The people who would disown their child if they came out or hurt them are disgusting. It's not their fault at all. They need to be healed and loved not hurt
As a Russian I want to say that the phrase "it is choice" doesn't mean exactly what everyone thinks. This is often pronounced unconsciously, even if the person doesn't think so. Rather, people mean that this is their life, their right. Personally, I do not consider sexual orientation as a choice, I'm sure that people are born gay, not become. But even I can blurt out "that's their choice" even though I know it isn't. It's like a parasite phrase. but of course some people do consider it a choice, especially among the older generation
Traditionally, Russians were pretty indifferent to the LGBTQ. In fact in imperial days before 1917, the LGBTQ were sometimes openly tolerated in parts of Russia. I'm reminded of Prince Yusupov--he of Rasputin-killing fame. He was openly gay as the day is long, and nothing really happened to him. Everyone from the tsar on down tolerated it with a wink and a nod. Then when the Bolsheviks took over in 1918, there was serious talk of making gay marriage legal in the new Civil Code of the Soviet Union. Lenin himself tolerated such discussions. That talk died down by 1922 or so, but homosexual relations were legalized. It's only been in the past 15 years that there's been a concerted effort to turn Russia into a crazy conservative country that despises the LGBTQ, like the Muslim countries or the English-speaking countries before 1960 or so.
@Ninja Crackpot literally almost all Asians country's were okay whit homosexuality until westernized, even in thailand were alot of trans accepted by monks, edo Japan warriors f*ck each other, I mean literally in all the history in the word is homosexuality: Roma, Greece, Egypt, Maya, even natives American.
But how can you be so dumb? The time of the USSR was very marked by atheism and by the persecution of homosexuals because they did not contribute to the family growing and therefore the leaders saw this as something bad for the growth of the Soviet people. What book do they read in your country to say all that nonsense?
@Ninja Crackpot Excuse me, many Asians accept them as well. Japanese, Thais, Chinese, Vietnamese and in Taiwan same sex marriage were legalised recently. Get ur facts rite bruh😊
Cringing when everyone, even the supportive ones, say it's someone's choice. Trust me, if homosexuality was a choice, most people would choose not to be. It's just so much easier to be straight, especially in homophobic environments.
IFKR??? That's what I've always told people all the time, but they don't listen. They think the LGBT would want to exist in my country, Malaysia, despite its extreme laws against it? It's not a bloody choice, it's what they are. And bigots here keep droning on about how Western influence has turned more citizens gay. No dude, it's making more people realise they're gay, and the government's done a bang up job at forcefully restricting who they can love.
It's partly denial I think. If someone accepts that it's 100% not a choice then they pretty much *have* to be tolerant and non judgmental. But if they say it's a choice it makes them easier to justify their criticism.
the fact that some persons have the audacity to say "orphanage" just shows that they have never felt the love for your own child, it sickens me that some parents would even be able to say that, it's disgusting

@Samriddhi Soperna what's up with Americans pushing thier "conservative" and "liberal" shut into every country?? Aren't those words only for american politics??
it's so crazy that one country away, in Finland, being gay is a non-issue. Finland is one of the most gay-friendly countries. It's crazy how sexuality is such a huge issue in Russia. In so many countries it's not even an issue in the first place, people are gay and noone cares. in Germany and Denmark there are LGBT politicians in the conservative parties. Luxembourg, Serbia, and Ireland have had gay prime ministers, and their sexuality wasn't an issue. but in Russia, being gay is a huge controversial thing that people are divided on? wow.
The whole "I'm actually more scared of murderers than LGBT people" bit feels... completely surreal. Like, parallel-universe surreal. I live in Montreal where being LGBT is not only widely accepted but is seen sa super-cool, people (gay and straight as well) hang out in the gay village that's open and pedestrian in the summer, and work in a place where pretty much all my co-workers are queer. It's one thing to know that such place exist, but another to have the reality of it slaps you in the face. The very thought that someone was trying to visibly convince you that LGBTQ people are less dangerous than murderers was breathtaking (in the wrong sense of the term).
I don't understand Russian, but I would guess it was just a joke like "why would I be scared of LGBT people when there's murderers (and others) out there who are much worse".
@@bitterfox518 well that's my point too. A lot of people are indifferent. And not like they ”have a stronger opinion” but choose to keep it quiet. That's not how it works here.
or they just don't want to be bothered in Russia all those controversial topics look like deep swamps that only fools and people who have nothing else to do step in. So they just say "neutral" or "Idc" because they don't want to be involved (or scared to) and they have other bussiness to do and no time to waste
Your wrong. Theres msny Russians who support it but the reason many don't is cause the former Russian Empire and the Soviet Union didn't allow those things and overall many Russians are very cold people. And even till this day the politics in Russia are terrible.

@@honeybadger4095 So lets apply the same to heterosexuals. Do you find it logical or productive to force straight people to be secret about their sexual orientation or else face violence?
@@honeybadger4095 ...that's what coming out is. it's literally in the phrase. You make it public. You don't hide who you are. Someone shouldn't be beaten to death for holding the hand of the person they love in public spaces. Straight people kiss in public all the time. I think that's gross. It's not illegal though, is it? No. There's a reason for that. It's because it doesn't matter when people kiss in public. At all.
There's such a large wide range of mixed reaction and way of thinking, it's nice (and scary) to see With the guy who want to kill them unless he can fetishize about it, the girl who think it's normal and that's just how things are and things change, the guy who say he's neutral but then immediatly say stuff that prove the countrary, the one who just... don't care There's twp lines that I absolutely love and that way more people should have. Which are : - "I'm more scared of murderers rather than LGBT people", be scared of the people who hate unconditionally and commit crime, which is implied (I think) "against LGBT", instead of the people who just love something different than what you love. - "If it doesn't hurt other, then it does not matter to me" which I think is a great mindset Like, maybe you can be LGBT, or hate LGBT (also work with other "hate without reason" thing than LGBT hate), as long as you don't hurt anyone then who care. Who care that you think of something a certain way if it doesn't matter. If i were to have a friend unironically telling me they dislike gay people, yeah I would have a worse opinion on them, but we would likely still be friend. But if they were to actually hurt other people (throught words or action) just because they are gay, then no, it's not ok, I'm never talking to this "friend" again. I don't know why all of this even matter tbh, people keep making it a big deal when it literally doesn't change a single thing about their life, but they actively go out of their way to hurt other.
Becouse for russians it's aestatically. A man, according to Russians, is less aesthetic, than woman, this is inherent in nature. When two men, as they say in Russia, "knead the mud", It looks more disgusting than 2 girls. Which is logical, because most men prefer girls)

Hi Leonard, apologies for a reply to an old comment but as a 21 year-old LGBTQ individual your comment struck a chord with me. It's people like you that made the world a little bit safer for people like me. Bless you. Thank you.
Those were only two guys… one of them is from eastern countries where people are really homophobic. Why need to demonize russians, we are people just like you. Believe me, when they say “it’s your choice” they don’t mean that you choose to be gay, they mean that if you choose to live openly as gay they will be ok with it. That’s what “it’s your choice” means, it’s like a phrase that would be better translated as “love who you want to” in this context. Do the same thing with people in US and I tell you, you’re gonna find two or three people out of ten who will tell you the same negative things.
Look at the whole picture. Human beings have amnesia. Once a society or civilization becomes to comfortable, they become obsessed with gender. This is well documented throughout history. It never ends well.
I’m both positive and negative about it too. Positive you’re human, you can have your preferences no shame on that. Negative when they got a whole month about it, advertise it to young children, or make “changes” in todays society. No need to push people, let them find out on their own😊✌️
why don’t you stop advertising heterosexuality to children? because thanks to you i grew up hating myself for who i was. because of pride, lgbt youth hating themselves for something they have no control over will hopefully be a thing of the past. i don’t see why you have a problem with that.
no one is pushing some dumb ass sexuality shit it's only the straights doing that. if being straight wasn't being pushed onto others then we wouldn't get hate crimed every fucking day
I find it really interesting that despite all this, that multiple people in this video had the same estimate about how many LGBTQ+ people there were around them - somewhere between 30-40%! That's pretty high, and I'm not sure that even here in the UK most people on the street would estimate that high. There must be a lot that goes on in Russia...
I'd imagine that because the media use LGBTQ+ people as a scapegoat or an example of Western, non-Russian culture that people exaggerate their numbers. A bit like when you ask Brits about the proportion of the population who are immigrants, they always over-estimate.
It doesn’t matter whether your straight, homosexual or bisexual. When Robots, equipped with Artificial Intelligence leaps beyond the average Human, come to take our jobs, they will surely not discriminate.
Why do people always think that when someone's LGBT they immediately think about sexual intercourse?? Can't they just love each other without sexual intentions like fluff?

I really wanted to hear a follow up question for the last one. If they pressed the button, why would the world be a better place? How would that make their and everyone else's lives better? When you hate something that much, would you just resort to hating some other group like disabled people, obese people, women? If someone who would have pressed the button would answer these questions, I'm super curious
It's the "it's their choice" that kills me. I wonder when did all the straight people that said this chose to be heterosexuals. The choice in sex is what position you like, not if you like men, women, both, or none. And the least people talk about it, the more ignorant opinions like get popular and validated. Plus, anyone with one brain cell knows politics that actively persue minorities are just creating some smokescreen for shittier stuff. I can even understand older generations falling for it, but I'm actually sad to see that some young Russians are so prejudiced against lgbt people for... no reason, really.
Perhaps some of the "homophobes" in the vid have fear of what the government would do if they had clearly shown support towards lgbt+ community. They sound pretty evasive using "neutral" all the time Edit: either that above, or fear of the society itself, of misfitting
@@whalisten I honestly doubt it. I mean, is the Russian government that worried about a handful of straight people saying they don't mind lgbt people existing? Their answer "it's their choice" or "I don't care, they aren't killing anyone" is a pattern seen in many other nations where lgbt minorities are protected by the law as well, like in Brazil. People are taught sexuality is a choice and accept this truth without reflecting because they simply never faced the contrary argument. And given many parents in many nations are against any kind of sex education, it just makes this harder.

For me, this clearly show me they are not so neutral and not so "do whatever you want with your life". Be it for fear of what the society might say about/do with their children, or because they actually are against it, but it's not nice to say that on camera. And the fact that those who said "well, it's their life, I won't expel them from my house" also shows a distance that I'm not familiar with when talking about your own kids. There was barely someone saying "I'll love them whatever, cause being gay is not a choice and we can't live in a world that condones this" like you'd hear in many other western countries. Maybe this is probably a cultural thing I'm not used to, especially being from south america, where everything is very emotional haha (and given Russia is obviously not a western country with western-like culture)
I’m a Colombian myself (so I guess that as a fellow Latino I share similar experiences to the ones you do. Like Brazil, we have very liberal policies but also share a not-so-progressive and rather religious, conservative society) and people who say that are often actually supportive. They usually aren’t as educated in the topic so they might not be aware of the connotation “it’s their choice” has, since these people were probably never really told of the LGBT community by schools or their families. My family’s response when I came out was along the “it’s your choice” line, and despite that they’re extremely supportive. LGBT issues are something most people don’t often think about so I guess it’s understandable they might not know how to phrase their position correctly. As my family learned more about the topic, they have clearly become more outspokenly supportive.
i honestly despise when people are like, “oh he’s just in the closet. he has a lot of internalized homophobia!” like, that could be a true statement, sure, but for the most part, most homophobes are straight and just hateful! trying to assume that everyone who’s violently homophobic is secretly gay makes people almost subliminally sympathize with the homophobic person imo. like, as much as y’all would like to believe that “if everyone would just accept themselves, homophobia would be ended,” it definitely doesn’t work that way. tl;dr guy in tank top is just a violent homophobe. NOT a closet gay! we do not claim him!
Well, I get your point, but it actually has been proven to be the case for most people who are violently homophobic. It doesn't mean that gay people in the closet are inherently violent at all. It just means that self hatred is one hell of a bitch. You see if with internalised misogyny! What's the difference between that and what is being said about that violently homophobic man? Women are oppressed too, just like LGBT+ people. Yet we know full well internalised misogyny leads to women being horrendous to other women, even defending rapists and victim blaming women. Even with men. A lot of men who try desperately to appear 'masculine' whilst hating 'feminine' men do so because of all of society's standards being imposed upon them which tell them to tough it out and 'be men'. Shit, there were even Jewish and Slavic members of the Nazi Party. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of bigots who don't have self hatred and are just shitbags due to religion etc. I'm sorry, but you can't pick and choose how internalised hatred works.
I get what you're saying, of course not all violently homophobic people are just closeted gays. But it's definitely a pretty common trend, and with this guy's comment in the video about how he "Just went along with it one time" in the gym, it kind of gives me heavy closeted gay vibes.
Normally I'd agree with you but despite apparently hating gays as much as be does, blondie went out of his way with a gay guy on the internet (Grindr maybe?) and invited him to the gym
The guy who said yes to lesbians and no to gay men… yikes.
Edit: I can’t believe I have to say this, but so many responses to my comment just don’t get it. We don’t want our value to be measured by how *arousing* we are to you. It’s degrading. We are people, not sex fantasies.

I'm going to be full honest:
People don't have to necessarily support and understand it, you cannot understand everything. But what people have to do in all cases is, in my opinion, to respect that it's their life and they can do whatever they want. They won't hurt anyone else with it, so why calling them names? This is the only thing I want from people. To just let them be.

Babe, unfortunately that's not how its goes. In a personel perspective, I would totally agree with you but these people someday are gonna vote for us to get the right to marry. That's why they should be not "not bothered" but "seeing it "normal" ". That's why we are showing this much of visibility and still educating cis heterosexuals.
Yes i agree with you. I think everyone can express their opinions as long as i don't act on them.
I respect it and they can do whatever they want. But when it's being pushed on my nose by advertising every day i become frustrated and it makes me want to hate them. I feel like I'm being preasured from the EU and US to love them not just tolerate/respect them.

@@neocamplays2575 Sorry for picking holes but Christianity does not devaluate gay people on the fundamental level. Some people are born that way (despite the fact that propaganda makes many heterosexuals consider themselves to be of a different orientation, which is unfortunate) so it's not the judgement of whether you are predisposed to be homosexual, but of how you control your predisposition and the way you refrain from having sex with people of your own gender, which is in turn considered a sin.
Again, sorry for being wordy and I hope you knew it and just phrased it in a slightly wrong way. I am also Christian, if anything ;)
I think it's important in these situations the effect that environment has on peoples opinions. Though I am in no way defending the views of the anti-LGBT answerers, I know that theres a high chance that if they grew up in a more accepting area, a more open family, and was pushed to look into to it and think more themselves, their opinions may be much different than they are now.

@@ImaginaryRebellion вообще тут ещё надо оценивать к каким конкретно действиям. Если это акции протеста, то у нас в стране характер организации митингов разрешительный (хотя я лично выступал и выступаю за уведомительный), соответственно только с разрешения мэрии города люди имеют право провести митинг (подобный характер более свойственен авторитарным государством, каковым, собственно, и является нынешняя Россия). Сейчас коронавирусные ограничения, поэтому все многолюдные собрания запрещены, это понимаемо и логика властей здесь вполне ясна (хотя наблюдая за будущими их действиям становится ясно, что логика у них одна - не дать оппозиции провести митинг, эпидемия тут не причем, она к слову) - не дать распространиться коронавирусу. Но что меня всегда поражало в той структуре власти, которую за 21 год выстроил Владимир Владимирович - это то, насколько избирательно и неправомерно действуют органы по отношению к "не своим". После митингов были проведены: митинг по 7-летию по воссоединению Крыма с Российской Федерацией, где было не менее 9 тысяч участников, на многочисленных видео- и фотосъёмкам прекрасно видно что огромное кол-во людей вообще без средств индивидуальной защиты, соответственно подвержены трелтворному влиянию вируса; Алые Паруса - собрание выпускников, на котором присутствовало не менее 20 тысяч человек (от которого, кстати, если следите за статистикой заболевания Санкт-Петербурга, сильно скаканула смертность и общая заболеваемость, хотя позже её начало нехило подтирать), кто-то получил по шапке за организацию этого действа? Нет; ПМЭФ - без комментариев; Парад ВМФ - ещё один способ умертвить несколько сотен или тысяч человек (всё с легкой руки Шойгу и его предвыборного пиара); Крестный ход (на этих всё равно, они всё равно всегда желали быть поближе к Богу, разве что детей жаль). Короче, подобное избирательное законодательство, которые влечёт к дичайшему расслоению общества и его "кипению", - это то, против чего в первую очередь надо выступать, подобная чушь была и до коронавируса с выборами, экономическими проектами, просто эпидемия проявила эту гниль на 100%. Я, кстати, вообще против митингов в нынешней ситуации, поэтому солидарен с тем же Явлинским.
А насчёт слов парня - он вполне мог и имплементировать свои злостные идеи. Он же писался с гомосексуалом и даже предлагал ему встретиться.

As a Russian I want to say that the phrase "it is choice" doesn't mean exactly what everyone thinks. This is often pronounced unconsciously, even if the person doesn't think so. Rather, people mean that this is their life, their right.
Personally, I do not consider sexual orientation as a choice, I'm sure that people are born gay, not become. But even I can blurt out "that's their choice" even though I know it isn't. It's like a parasite phrase.
but of course some people do consider it a choice, especially among the older generation
Fully approving, it happens with me a lot though i am bisexual and surely realise it's not a choice
I think the same!
Totally agree 👏
thanks for the context
If it's not a choice you wouldn't have ppl who changed their orientation from homosexual to hetero. So it have to be a choice.
Traditionally, Russians were pretty indifferent to the LGBTQ. In fact in imperial days before 1917, the LGBTQ were sometimes openly tolerated in parts of Russia. I'm reminded of Prince Yusupov--he of Rasputin-killing fame. He was openly gay as the day is long, and nothing really happened to him. Everyone from the tsar on down tolerated it with a wink and a nod. Then when the Bolsheviks took over in 1918, there was serious talk of making gay marriage legal in the new Civil Code of the Soviet Union. Lenin himself tolerated such discussions. That talk died down by 1922 or so, but homosexual relations were legalized. It's only been in the past 15 years that there's been a concerted effort to turn Russia into a crazy conservative country that despises the LGBTQ, like the Muslim countries or the English-speaking countries before 1960 or so.
@Ninja Crackpot literally almost all Asians country's were okay whit homosexuality until westernized, even in thailand were alot of trans accepted by monks, edo Japan warriors f*ck each other, I mean literally in all the history in the word is homosexuality: Roma, Greece, Egypt, Maya, even natives American.
Literally left out the whole stalin and ussr thing lmao
But how can you be so dumb?
The time of the USSR was very marked by atheism and by the persecution of homosexuals because they did not contribute to the family growing and therefore the leaders saw this as something bad for the growth of the Soviet people.
What book do they read in your country to say all that nonsense?
@Ninja Crackpot You guys will kill gay people for existing but then tolerate rape and lower quality education. Its really weird
@Ninja Crackpot Excuse me, many Asians accept them as well. Japanese, Thais, Chinese, Vietnamese and in Taiwan same sex marriage were legalised recently. Get ur facts rite bruh😊

Cringing when everyone, even the supportive ones, say it's someone's choice. Trust me, if homosexuality was a choice, most people would choose not to be. It's just so much easier to be straight, especially in homophobic environments.
IFKR??? That's what I've always told people all the time, but they don't listen. They think the LGBT would want to exist in my country, Malaysia, despite its extreme laws against it? It's not a bloody choice, it's what they are. And bigots here keep droning on about how Western influence has turned more citizens gay. No dude, it's making more people realise they're gay, and the government's done a bang up job at forcefully restricting who they can love.
@@carlosuzaier5858 right 😂
Exactly!!!
this is another proof that this is not a choice
It's partly denial I think. If someone accepts that it's 100% not a choice then they pretty much *have* to be tolerant and non judgmental. But if they say it's a choice it makes them easier to justify their criticism.
the fact that some persons have the audacity to say "orphanage" just shows that they have never felt the love for your own child, it sickens me that some parents would even be able to say that, it's disgusting

I think he just dislikes sexual activities, even kissing in public. He's OK with you coming out, but not showing it freely in public.
@@honeybadger4095 So lets apply the same to heterosexuals. Do you find it logical or productive to force straight people to be secret about their sexual orientation or else face violence?
@stop lgbt What a really sad person you are! So, you burn the LGBT flag.. And..? Just shows you to be a hooligan! What's to brag about?
@@honeybadger4095 ...that's what coming out is. it's literally in the phrase. You make it public. You don't hide who you are. Someone shouldn't be beaten to death for holding the hand of the person they love in public spaces. Straight people kiss in public all the time. I think that's gross. It's not illegal though, is it? No. There's a reason for that. It's because it doesn't matter when people kiss in public. At all.
А что в этом плохого. Если людям не приятно видеть геев, то отличный компромисс не выставлять на показ свою ориентацию
There's such a large wide range of mixed reaction and way of thinking, it's nice (and scary) to see
With the guy who want to kill them unless he can fetishize about it, the girl who think it's normal and that's just how things are and things change, the guy who say he's neutral but then immediatly say stuff that prove the countrary, the one who just... don't care
There's twp lines that I absolutely love and that way more people should have. Which are :
- "I'm more scared of murderers rather than LGBT people", be scared of the people who hate unconditionally and commit crime, which is implied (I think) "against LGBT", instead of the people who just love something different than what you love.
- "If it doesn't hurt other, then it does not matter to me" which I think is a great mindset
Like, maybe you can be LGBT, or hate LGBT (also work with other "hate without reason" thing than LGBT hate), as long as you don't hurt anyone then who care. Who care that you think of something a certain way if it doesn't matter.
If i were to have a friend unironically telling me they dislike gay people, yeah I would have a worse opinion on them, but we would likely still be friend. But if they were to actually hurt other people (throught words or action) just because they are gay, then no, it's not ok, I'm never talking to this "friend" again.
I don't know why all of this even matter tbh, people keep making it a big deal when it literally doesn't change a single thing about their life, but they actively go out of their way to hurt other.
why should lesbianism be positive and homosexual men negative? lol, that guy makes no sense
Because he’s fetishizing lesbians
Becouse for russians it's aestatically. A man, according to Russians, is less aesthetic, than woman, this is inherent in nature. When two men, as they say in Russia, "knead the mud", It looks more disgusting than 2 girls. Which is logical, because most men prefer girls)

It’s almost as if the young people of the world have become relaxed, liberal and tolerant whilst the older folks do everything in their power to pitch them against each other and breed anger. And that goes for older liberal folk as well. Telling your children that people with conservative values are “evil” is just as wrong as telling your children that liberals are communists.
Maybe the leftists should stop pushing Marxist social constructs then. The commies laid out a plan to take down western society decades ago and if you look at that it’s pretty much all happening today through useful idiot “liberals,” who are the furthest thing from the definition of “liberal” these days. They’re nothing more than totalitarian assholes that want to shutdown anyone that disagrees with their awful ideology.

children are born into the world with prejudices and racism tho....
Those were only two guys… one of them is from eastern countries where people are really homophobic. Why need to demonize russians, we are people just like you. Believe me, when they say “it’s your choice” they don’t mean that you choose to be gay, they mean that if you choose to live openly as gay they will be ok with it. That’s what “it’s your choice” means, it’s like a phrase that would be better translated as “love who you want to” in this context.
Do the same thing with people in US and I tell you, you’re gonna find two or three people out of ten who will tell you the same negative things.
Look at the whole picture. Human beings have amnesia. Once a society or civilization becomes to comfortable, they become obsessed with gender. This is well documented throughout history. It never ends well.
I’m both positive and negative about it too. Positive you’re human, you can have your preferences no shame on that. Negative when they got a whole month about it, advertise it to young children, or make “changes” in todays society. No need to push people, let them find out on their own😊✌️
why don’t you stop advertising heterosexuality to children? because thanks to you i grew up hating myself for who i was.

In all reality, though the video is giving us hope, it is an utterly depressing to hear all "these" things. Thanks for the footage.
I find it really interesting that despite all this, that multiple people in this video had the same estimate about how many LGBTQ+ people there were around them - somewhere between 30-40%! That's pretty high, and I'm not sure that even here in the UK most people on the street would estimate that high. There must be a lot that goes on in Russia...
Might be a similar thing to black people in the US. Group gets discussed so much, with serious issues, that people really overestimate their numbers.
I'd imagine that because the media use LGBTQ+ people as a scapegoat or an example of Western, non-Russian culture that people exaggerate their numbers. A bit like when you ask Brits about the proportion of the population who are immigrants, they always over-estimate.

It's the "it's their choice" that kills me. I wonder when did all the straight people that said this chose to be heterosexuals. The choice in sex is what position you like, not if you like men, women, both, or none. And the least people talk about it, the more ignorant opinions like get popular and validated. Plus, anyone with one brain cell knows politics that actively persue minorities are just creating some smokescreen for shittier stuff. I can even understand older generations falling for it, but I'm actually sad to see that some young Russians are so prejudiced against lgbt people for... no reason, really.
Perhaps some of the "homophobes" in the vid have fear of what the government would do if they had clearly shown support towards lgbt+ community. They sound pretty evasive using "neutral" all the time
Edit: either that above, or fear of the society itself, of misfitting
@@whalisten I honestly doubt it. I mean, is the Russian government that worried about a handful of straight people saying they don't mind lgbt people existing? Their answer "it's their choice" or "I don't care, they aren't killing anyone" is a pattern seen in many other nations where lgbt minorities are protected by the law as well, like in Brazil. People are taught sexuality is a choice and accept this truth without reflecting because they simply never faced the contrary argument. And given many parents in many nations are against any kind of sex education, it just makes this harder.
I think they dont say it in that sense, i understand it more likely "do with your life whatever you feel" but idk
@@juliandavididarragarestrep8719 the thing is that this answer changes when they are faced with the "what if your child came out" question. For me, this clearly show me they are not so neutral and not so "do whatever you want with your life". Be it for fear of what the society might say about/do with their children, or because they actually are against it, but it's not nice to say that on camera. And the fact that those who said "well, it's their life, I won't expel them from my house" also shows a distance that I'm not familiar with when talking about your own kids. There was barely someone saying "I'll love them whatever, cause being gay is not a choice and we can't live in a world that condones this" like you'd hear in many other western countries. Maybe this is probably a cultural thing I'm not used to, especially being from south america, where everything is very emotional haha (and given Russia is obviously not a western country with western-like culture)
I’m a Colombian myself (so I guess that as a fellow Latino I share similar experiences to the ones you do. Like Brazil, we have very liberal policies but also share a not-so-progressive and rather religious, conservative society) and people who say that are often actually supportive. They usually aren’t as educated in the topic so they might not be aware of the connotation “it’s their choice” has, since these people were probably never really told of the LGBT community by schools or their families. My family’s response when I came out was along the “it’s your choice” line, and despite that they’re extremely supportive. LGBT issues are something most people don’t often think about so I guess it’s understandable they might not know how to phrase their position correctly. As my family learned more about the topic, they have clearly become more outspokenly supportive.
I think a lot of people just answered with “idgaf” and I think that makes sense and I agree with it
0:30 "mom i want iceman"

i honestly despise when people are like, “oh he’s just in the closet. he has a lot of internalized homophobia!” like, that could be a true statement, sure, but for the most part, most homophobes are straight and just hateful! trying to assume that everyone who’s violently homophobic is secretly gay makes people almost subliminally sympathize with the homophobic person imo. like, as much as y’all would like to believe that “if everyone would just accept themselves, homophobia would be ended,” it definitely doesn’t work that way.
tl;dr guy in tank top is just a violent homophobe. NOT a closet gay! we do not claim him!
Well, I get your point, but it actually has been proven to be the case for most people who are violently homophobic. It doesn't mean that gay people in the closet are inherently violent at all. It just means that self hatred is one hell of a bitch. You see if with internalised misogyny! What's the difference between that and what is being said about that violently homophobic man? Women are oppressed too, just like LGBT+ people. Yet we know full well internalised misogyny leads to women being horrendous to other women, even defending rapists and victim blaming women. Even with men. A lot of men who try desperately to appear 'masculine' whilst hating 'feminine' men do so because of all of society's standards being imposed upon them which tell them to tough it out and 'be men'. Shit, there were even Jewish and Slavic members of the Nazi Party. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of bigots who don't have self hatred and are just shitbags due to religion etc. I'm sorry, but you can't pick and choose how internalised hatred works.
I get what you're saying, of course not all violently homophobic people are just closeted gays.
But it's definitely a pretty common trend, and with this guy's comment in the video about how he "Just went along with it one time" in the gym, it kind of gives me heavy closeted gay vibes.
