Expression of feelings

[Gator]

But can you be gay and support Putin? 

Yes, but highly unlikely.  Why would the repressed support the repressor? 

We have Log Cabin Republicans in America so I guess there are gays in Russia who support nationalism.  However, Putinism is far more than nationalism.  Lack of transparency, cronyism, etc. are not tenets of gay politics.  Even worse are Putin's methods.

Try again.

Al Sharpton?

Al Sharpton?

I could say Al to the black minority is equivalent to Putin and the Russian population, except Al has neither the power nor authority, just the influence.  No, the Reverend is not that bad.

But, just like many here, he would like to be.

[Boethius]

Sharpton does not have significant influence.  There is no American politician, or public figure comparable to Putin.

Which is exactly why they wish to see him move out.

True, but I wanted to help Shadow. 

The fact that Al Sharpton is labeled by some as a (not the) black leader says much about the lack of black leadership. 

If only Tupac had not died, killed by the very violence reflected in his songs.        BTW, Tupac liked taking off his shirt.

I think most Americans don't care about Russia.

Where is this place ?  Did it used to be part of Ukraine ?

Brush up your history. America was never part of Ukraine. But it used to have kangaroo's.

Yes.

The part I bolded is true, and it's true because Russians love to behave like sheep.

The part about Sharpton is not true.  He has been to the White House 72 times in the past few years.

Did he jump over the fence on any occasion ?

No, you are thinking of Seth Rogen and James Flacco

[Ludmila]

Why are you defending Ludmilla's hatred against gays?

Tiberius, in my own kitchen I'm free to experience any feelings I want. But in the public, it is beoynd my ways to comment, show, with mime, gestures or otherwise, any feelings I have towards anyone, including Gays, etc. "Hatred" is an irrelevant word, if you want to understand my position.
What I DO PROTEST against is
the changing of the Constitution
propaganda of LGBT values to minors and in Universities.   
I have my own opinion, am entitled to it, and will do everything possible to influence the people who are dear to me ( my family and friends). At the same time, I will never agree with some Americans I happened to talk to to, belittle the intellectual and artistic value of results of work of the above community. I cherish the music by E.John, George Michael, the writings of Oscar Wilde, designs of numerous fashion and architectural designers.
You, as well as a few others,  misread my posts, and sometimes add thoughts from your imagination.

Gator, your analysis ( and objectivity) don't yield to any criticism, sorry. What about Obama/Eric Holder/ Harry Reed/ Jessee Jackson-- all are straight, they are ehh strongly  attracted to one another... and  something is telling me ehh it isn't sex :-)

George Michael is a homo?  Bs, Russian propaganda!

"...all are straight..."  Sure about that...?

[SANDRO43]

George Michael is a homo?  Bs, Russian propaganda!

Apparently not:

Personal life
Sexuality
At the age of 19, Michael told Andrew Ridgeley and close friends that he was bisexual. Michael also told one of his two sisters, but he was advised by friends not to tell his parents about his sexuality. In a 1999 interview with The Advocate, Michael told the Editor in Chief, Judy Wieder, that it was "falling in love with a man that ended his conflict over bisexuality." "I never had a moral problem with being gay," Michael told Wieder. "I thought I had fallen in love with a woman a couple of times. Then I fell in love with a man, and realized that none of those things had been love." In 2007, Michael said he had hidden the fact he was gay because of worries over what effect it might have on his mother.

Speaking about his time with Wham! in the 1980s, Michael said: "I used to sleep with women quite a lot in the Wham! days but never felt it could develop into a relationship because I knew that, emotionally, I was a gay man. I didn't want to commit to them but I was attracted to them. Then I became ashamed that I might be using them." In 2009, Michael said: "My depression at the end of Wham! was because I was beginning to realise I was gay, not bisexual."
