I'm sure this is of interest but RT is a Russian state organ devoted to spreading propaganda and inflaming hatred, discord, and division in the United States. Not that we need any help. RT like the Russian state, is viciously hostile to gay people as well. I don't need Russian propaganda on the trans issue, thanks.

How is this much different from US corporate media? Corporate media is fed propaganda from the intelligence/military agencies and "reports" it uncritically. At least state media agencies are transparent in its intentions of manipulating public and/or global opinion.

Russian state media denounces gay people 24/7 as degenerates, threats to children and the snctitu of Russia itself. Gay men in Chechnya, Russia are targeted and killed, their families are told to shun and murder gay men. You think there is anything comparable in the US? What in the fucking world, NO, Russia'shorrible human rights abuses against gay people is not the same. Unbelievable I have to even type this, educate yourself.

...So Russia is just more transparent in its aims, rather than the situation we have i the US where the hatred is being disguised under paternalistic, falsely "benign" support from government and private institutions. (And where we have a coalition of private interests and corporate media, instead of "just" an arm of the state.)

In fact, the US government is funding nations like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan with billions of dollars in "foreign aid". Those two nations have criminal penalties towards individuals in openly same-sex relationships. They're also horrid human rights abusers across the board, Saudi Arabia being the worst of the two:

Saudi Arabia stated that under the interpretation of Sharia in the country, consensual same-sex sexual conduct is punishable by death or flogging, depending on the perceived seriousness of the offence, and the law makes it illegal for men "to behave like women" or wear women's clothes, and vice versa.

Pakistan, while not going as far as executing people, does not support anti-discrimination legislation for LGB.

If the US truly does care about LGB rights, then why is this not reflected in our foreign policy and distribution of aid? Why even fund a barbaric nation like Saudi Arabia? Wouldn't this show that the federal government is just virtue signaling and doesn't truly care?
