Homophobic Stances of the current administration:

New Ukraine President
In August 2007, Turchynov replied to the accusation that his stance on same-sex marriage is typically conservative, "I do not agree. If a man has normal views, then you label him a conservative, but those who use drugs or promote sodomy, you label them a progressive person. All of these are perversions".http://web.archive.org/web/20080820220202/http://www.lgf.org.uk/news/research-2/overview-of-lesbian-and-gay-rights-in-eastern-europe/

Oleksandr Turchynov is an elder in a conservative Evangelical Church. We know how Evangelical Churches view gays.

Svoboda is heavily anti-gay

Member of parliament Ihor Miroshnychenko asked the head of the Kiev City State Administration Oleksandr Popov on 7 March 2013 to ban an LGBT march that was held the next day because he believed it would "contribute to promoting sexual orientation" and he further stated in his request "homosexuality provokes sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS".[98] The 8 March rally was in fact not an LGBT march but organized by feminist organizations.[99]

Need we even mention the further right parties?

Who is "The Vinebox", and how did they obtain this recording exclusively? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2014 #8

You may find elsewhere dipsydoodle Mar 2014 #9

No, this is exclusive, so it doesn't appear anywhere else muriel_volestrangler Mar 2014 #11

Its a hosting site dipsydoodle Mar 2014 #17

So you're taking the word of a site that hosts Vine clips about a taped conversation muriel_volestrangler Mar 2014 #19

Well either she does admit it on her twitter feed or she doesn't. dipsydoodle Mar 2014 #20

RT takes its news from a video hosting website? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2014 #15

The MSM rarely provides a deeper story or viewpoint. They risk losing some of their audience newthinking Mar 2014 #45

An obvious and stupid attempt by Russia to further provoke unrest in Ukraine. TwilightGardener Mar 2014 #23

Nice of Yulia to show how the Ukrainian nationalists feel. nt rdharma Mar 2014 #28

Fuck, if another country dared invade the US, seized our military bases TwilightGardener Mar 2014 #32

If a group of RW thugs staged a coup in the US, I'd advocate war against them too. nt rdharma Mar 2014 #33

Nah, that coup shit has been established as Russian propaganda, and you aren't TwilightGardener Mar 2014 #35

I don't care if you want to deny the reality of the situation. nt rdharma Mar 2014 #38

Can't believe anything Russia says. Putin's about as truthy as Kim Jong Un and TwilightGardener Mar 2014 #40
