I think I would completely agree with you if there weren't a gleeful excitement in insinuating that Putin's gay. Yes, I think it will have a detrimental effect on his composure, but I fear that he will take it out on the LGBTQ community in Russia even further than he already has.

I don't mind memetic warfare of this kind, but I wish that the people spreading it around weren't quite so eager to use a big, loud gay joke.

Aside from that, we're clearly on the same side of this issue generally, and I salute you.
