That’s the weird thing: they are, in a way, trying to say there’s nothing wrong with it. But they think that Russians are highly triggered by LGBTQ+ shit, so they also make fun of them by calling them gay or whatever.
So they are advocating for LGBTQ+ acceptance while at the same time using it as a profanity. ‘Look lads, we ‘accept’ you and all but we also kinda want to use your existence as an insult, okay?’
You mean that “soviet leader kisses another man” propaganda the West put out during the Cold War?
Seriously, my first thought when I saw that was “so? What’s wrong with that?” Then again I’m not exactly the target audience for anticommunist crap.
