http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-maher-tells-pussy-riot-he-thinks-putin-might-be-gay/Vladimir Putin talks a lot about, weve got to check the gays, Maher continued. And in my experience, any time somebody talks a lot about how we have to get the gays in line, I mean, it turns out that theyre really gay themselves. I mean, every time I see a picture of Putin, hes got his shirt off.
People think that that might be the case, Alyokhina said to Mahers genuine surprise. So far we havent seen his active side of that, in that area.
Yeah, same thing with Lindsey Graham here, Maher joked about the Republican senator from South Carolina.

(42,239 posts)do not get phased by the small number here who make that strange allegation.
I didn't think they should've been imprisoned in the first place but then I can't really relate to exactly what "hooliganism" refers to in either Russia or Ukraine.

(7,099 posts)It not only implies being gay is negative, it also puts the whole burden of homophobia on the gay community. Maher is too prone to this type of unthinking insensitivity imo.

(13,390 posts)There is nothing funny about discrimination, outright hate, and especially not the violence that has been directed toward LGBT people.
