Why guys are not OK with Putin who's not OK with LGBT and why Putin is not OK with LGBT that are not OK with people that are not OK with Putin

Now listen up(that's a disclaimer over here): what you will read is my sole opinion based on my understanding of Russian way of thinking (since I'm Russian myself) and understanding people and the situation resolving around me. I am going to get a bit emotional about this post because it touches certain things dear to me. No rights or claims can be derived from this text whatsoever, with a small exception of you having the same opinion or another one.





1. Russian people and LGBT

Right off the bat here: Russians are in their majority not giving a single damn (even if it's a well paid damn) about your gender, sex, race, nationality, religious belief or any other differentiating factor you might think of.





Think for a moment: Russians have THE biggest country in the world with the most of the planet's resources.





We simply don't give a damn just because we already ARE dominating as a country. We even sold one of our territories (Alaska) to USA just for a bit of cash (7.2 million bucks) just because, well, we don't give a fuck so much. Potatoes were more interesting at that time for us (seriously!).





We are Orthodox Christians. Our main motto as Orthodoxals is "we all are brothers and sisters, regardless of how we look and what we do". That's what was bashed into every proper Russian since the Bible was translated into Church-Russian language, make that X century.





Now we have democracy in the Russian Federation. Now we bash into our kids this: "I am free to do whatever I want as long as I do not interfere with anyone else doing whatever he/she wants to do". Not much of a paradigm shift, to be honest.





So that means, combining both of the sentences we have in a modern Russian: "Regardless of who you are and what you do, I see you as a dear human being to me and I will not try to disturb you as long as you allow me to do whatever I would like to do and think whatever I'd like to think. Unless you want to commit crime against another brother of mine. Then I'll interfere."





That being said, as long as you are generally polite, modest and friendly person, you should be quite OK with us, you might even feel good in our company, regardless of your difference.





2. What is going on with LGBT

LGBTs have a long history of fighting for their rights. And these fights seem absolutely sociopathic for Russians with their modesty-based culture. We don't understand this "fighting for a right to live". Just do your thing and don't push it on us, or we push the hell out of ya. That's #1 for "why Russians are a bit not OK with LGBT".





#2 is a common phrase "we are afraid of what we do not know". You come to me and you say:

-I'm gay

-Gay? What's that?

-Well I do it with men, you pretty boy

-Uhm......OK.....so what? :-/

-Well you don't accept my existence? HOW DARE YOU? I'M A HUMAN BEING!

-Dude chill do....

-SO YOU THINK YOU CAN ONLY F*** WOMEN? SUPRIZE YOU IGNORANT MOTHERF****R!

-OK that's your last chance. Calm down or I will punch you.

-YEAH YOU LIKE TO BASH GAYS, RIGHT?

-(punch) Dude STFU>FO. And I recommend you to do this ASAP while I'm not completely angry yet.









SOME HOURS LATER THE GAY GUY YELLS IN HIS SURROUNDINGS THAT HE'S NOT ACCEPTED AND HE HAS BEEN BASHED AND PUBLICLY DISCRIMINATED, CAUSING MORE OF NON-TRADITIONAL ORIENTATION PEOPLE TO CAUSE SAME KIND OF DIALOGUES, ENDING UP IN A LOOP THAT THE GAY-FRIENDLY COUNTRIES SEE ONLY FROM THE "PUNCH" SIDE, THEREFORE CREATING STEREOTYPED LOOK ON THE RUSSIANS.





Putin, and also most of us Russians are against this loop at all. So if LGBTs cannot keep it simple and quiet, we say STFU>FO.





Then people of gay-friendly countries saying "damn those Russians are so stupid and ignorant and discriminative". I'm personally very upset because of a stereotype that is being pushed on me just because some fancy looking asshole decided to try to shove something up my throat and ended up shoving it up his butt.

3. In the end of the day

To summarize, Russians and Putin as the representative of the Russian nation are people who simply doesn't give a single buck for the difference of yours, would it be nationality, race, gender - whatever.





But we also need some modesty from other people that interact with us. We are a very proud nation, and we won't allow someone to even touch our pride. We don't shove our rules unto everything we don't find OK in other countries, so why some groups of people should try to tell us how should we look upon them?





My dear readers, whoever you are: since the post's beginning you already understood that I consider you my brother/sister. I love you, but please be worthy my love as well. At least try, that also counts.
