Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov denied that there are any gay men to persecute in the region, rather labelling them fake Chechens.
Kadyrov has insisted that he will cooperate with a Russian investigation into the discovery of persecution against gay people in the region, but denied that any gay people actually existed.
The regions leader made the comments after Russian president Vladimir Putin announced intentions to investigate reports of gay men being abducted, tortured and killed in the republic.
Kadyrov said: We have never had them among the Chechens.
Unless we are talking about those who arent Chechens but say they are so that they can get to the West.
Chechen society does not have this phenomenon called non-traditional sexual orientation. For thousands of years the people have lived by other rules, prescribed by God, he added.

(57,349 posts)Yes, we know - millions have been persecuted using those 'rules' and it looks like he's continuing the tradition.

(17,984 posts)So many conflicting emotions for poor tRump! Kadyrov is white and against gays, but he is a Muslim terrorist. BUT the biggest deciding factor is that he models himself after tRump, and that should mean the orange shitgibbon should like him.

Chechnyas dictator is taking a page out of Donald Trumps playbook in his search for a new aide with a new Apprentice-style TV show.
Ramzan Kadyrov, whose fame as the republics strongman is only rivaled by his Instagram stardom, is on the prowl for a business-savvy assistant who can help him develop his Islamic fiefdom. (Chechnya, a Russian republic in the North Caucasus, has been under the Kadyrov familys rule for more than a decade.) The only way to do so, it seems, is to pit contestants against one another on a nationally televised show called Team, which, in true Kadyrov fashion, includes plenty of cameos by his dead dad, cute animals, and a handful of sexist jokes.
