DISINFO: The west is craving for lewdness
SUMMARY
American diplomats raised the gay flag on their country’s embassy building in Moscow … coinciding with the start of the vote on a package of constitutional amendments, including “protecting the institution of marriage as a union between men and women.”
The West has turned to new sodom in its craving for lewdness.
RESPONSE
This message is consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the moral decay of the West and the propaganda of the morally corrupt West, aiming to encourage Russophobia.
The British and U.S. embassies in the Russian capital both flew rainbow flags to celebrate Pride Month, along with a joint statement from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States calling to “protect the rights of all its citizens, including sexual minorities… as expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights”.
On 17 Jun 2011, The United Nations issued its first condemnation of discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgender people. On 26 September 2014, The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution to combat violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
According to these narratives, the liberal societies of the West are depraved, they seek to destroy traditional values and to promote deviant sexual behaviour.
