PERSONAL GAY TRUTH
This publication is only intended for LGBTQ readers who have reached the age of consent.
In March 2024, elections were held in Russia. In the West, many called them a sham. In November of the same year, on the other side of the Atlantic, the United States will also hold elections. Many in the anti-West deride them as senile. In search of personal gay truth and before putting my question to a vote, read some facts.
Some time ago, it became illegal in Russia to distribute and promote LGBTQ-related content, from books to films. As a result, many titles were removed from media platforms and bookshelves. Unexpectedly, some of them actually benefited from the publicity.
The law was passed on the grounds that digesting LGBTQ-related content could spark queer sexual interests. When I was working on my novel, I didn't intend to influence anyone about how good or bad it was to be gay. My intention was quite different - in my work, based on a true story, I was writing about the challenges many gay people face in trying to accept themselves in what can be a rather unfriendly, if not hostile, world.
If there is a book or film that can turn a heterosexual man or woman into a homosexual, then there must be another book or film that can do the reverse.
Personally, I find this painfully amusing
In the period of my sexual formation, there was no LGBTQ-related content. Nothing explicit like The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi or implicit like A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood. In those seemingly distant times, it was utterly impossible.
A few years ago, after Russia had declared its independence, a country cinema was about to show something socially outrageous. The In the Realm of the Senses, by a certain Japanese director, was one of the first erotic films to be shown on the big screen in the post-Soviet era. Like many other villagers, I wet my lips in anticipation of tasting the forbidden fruit. During brief scenes of heterosexual intimacy, I was drawn to the naked man. The fixation happened naturally, (and while the place was full, there was no room for) without any so-called LGBTQ propaganda.
In the eyes of a dog, cats may be a perversion
