Do you hate LGBT? 100 Russians. 

🏳️‍🌈 = 👎🏻: 8 🏳️‍🌈 = 👌: 85 🏳️‍🌈 = 🤷‍♂️: 7

Its actually translated a bit wrong. Most of the people who said “it’s their choice” actually said “it’s their life” “it’s their business” etc

That babushka at 10:01 is just the sweetest person pls protect at all costs!

"Он мой ребёнок и моим ребёнком не перестаёт быть, у него своя жизнь и свои решения, я люблю его любым" - плачу, потому что это слова золотых родителей

Бабушка на 10:02 просто солнышко! Я в шоке, что есть люди прошлого поколения, у которых такое отношение к данной теме… это просто прекрасно

The question “How would you react if your kid or grandkid was gay?”, gives a much better representation of peoples attitudes towards homosexuality than the question “Are you homophobic?” Many claim to not be homophobic in general yet are less understanding of the concept if put in a position where someone close to them might be gay.

The last guy made me laugh 😂, he said “sometimes people think that I’m one of them” 🤣😂

Ну это, во-первых, в основном молодых людей спрашивают, во-вторых, в Москве. В больших городах толерантность выше. И молодежь проще относится, чем более старшие поколения. Мне кажется, это прям редкость, люди в возрасте, которых тут опросили, и они спокойно смотрят на это

Bless the young Russian generation with no hatred in their hearts. You're appreciated and supported from afar.

I'm a Russian gay from Rostov, everyone in my office know, my boss knows, all my family and friends know, bc I lived with a b*tch of a man who told everyone I'm gay after I left him. Here how it went - mom cried, because she was scared for me, dad told me I'm dead to him, sister wanted to kill my former boyfriend, colleagues pretended they didn't find out, boss told me it's ok and I shouldn't worry. It was a lot of nerves over nothing, at the end of the day everything went as usual, mom now cries bc she wanted grandkids from me, bc my sister is child free, my father pretends nothing happened, colleagues talk to me as usual and sometimes joke about gay stuff, boss doesn't remember it. all in all not bad, bc I heard horror stories about it coming from all over the world.

The honesty of the woman at 7:28, and her desire to try and be a better person brought a lump to my throat. It takes a huge amount of courage to examine your own feelings and thoughts in a critical way.

It's refreshing to see that while Russia's goverment is very agressive to LGBT people, the russian young people are more open minded.. also that babushka at the end 😭❤❤God bless her

I'm a Bisexual Filipino guy. I just want everyone to know that we never choose our sexuality. It just came out naturally. We have inclinations and desires that are in the brain and heart. It's not like choosing what clothes to wear or what food to eat. It's not like that. Many heterosexual people believes that this is a choice because they don't know what we feel in the inside. They think that a gay man who would act masculine or a lesbian woman who would act feminine is an evidence that they already become straight. But that's not how it is. There are gay men who are very masculine, and there are straight men who are very effeminate. Same thing with women, there are lesbians who are super feminine and there are straight girls who are masculine. Sexuality is different from Gender Expression after all. I'm still hoping the day would come wherein everyone will have an understanding of what we're going through. It's ok if you don't accept us. That's fine. What anger me the most is that there are rumors and false assumptions that are being spread against us and the community.

"I don't see anything wrong with kissing a man. I'd rather keep my butt in tact though." LOL! Well said my friend. To each their own.

10:01 what lovely response from a beautiful, warm, open-hearted woman! This was refreshing to see that the majority of Russians interviewed here were supportive of gay people. Here in Australia, we only hear of Russia's homophobia and violence toward LGBTQI people - this video illustrates a very similar response that you would receive from people in Australia, if you asked the same question here. 1420; I really appreciate your videos, providing such a humanising insight into Russian people, culturally we may be different - however, we are ALL share the same humanity. It makes it apparent that where we differ is only in our country's leadership & governments, which use division and prejudice in attempts to divide and conquer us. Please keep up the great work!

Забавно, что люди с нейтральным отношением развернуто, понятно и аргументированно отвечают, почему они так относятся. У людей с негативной позицией ответы в стиле "ну потому что, ну просто", теряются и даже не могут объяснить свое мнение. Очень доходчиво показывает, что это просто принятая бездумно точка зрения, никакого критического взгляда, просто вот так принято. Простите, байду про Адама и Еву никак не могу считать за аргумент, если что.

почему про "вред обществу" сказал алкаш?

"Are you homophobic?" is the wrong question. Of corse everybody will say no because it sounds like a negative thing (it is also) and people are not ready to admit that about themselves. Ask them more specific questions and then you will have your real answer

Хорошо что большинство, нормальные ответы дали, бальзам на душу и есть надежда на лучшее🙏

On TV One man killing other man: 😊👌👍 One man loving other man:🤢😳😣😡 What type of world is it?

How can anyone think we homophobic if we have the strongest, most loyal and friendly gachi community?

As someone who lived in Russia for many years, I disagree with this video. First of all, the question is wrong. If you went to anywhere and asked the question, "Are you racist?' nearly everyone will say no (like the 85 people in this video). But if you break it down and ask specific questions, people's prejudice will show. How about questions like, "Should two men be allowed to hold hands while walking down the street like a heterosexual couple?" or "If a gay man said you were cute and asked you out, what would you do?" or "Do you think being gay is a mental illness?" or "Do you think gay people should be allowed to work with children?". I could go on and on and I know the answers already. I'm not faulting Russians per se because the same could be said about the US in decades past and it takes time for acceptance. We, in the US, want to seem so progressive towards gay issues, but it wasn't until 2015 that gay marriage was legal in all of the US and now we are afraid the Supreme Court can take that away. But the conclusion the creator wants us to take from this video, I don't buy it nor does it match my personal experience in Russia or my Russian friends.

Следующее видео: следователь ищет каждого человека из данного ролика, поддерживающего лгбт P. S. Если вы хотите указать мне на то, что шутка неудачная, то достаньте листочек, напишите на нём свои мысли и сожгите. Надеюсь вам станет легче

It’s hard to believe anyone would WANT their child to come out gay. I mean, to have them go through all of this bullsh*t from other people all their life? Of course it would be easier if my child is straight and follows the same direction in this grand highway of life. But the reality is that there IS a chance that your child will come to you one day as their parent, and ask for your support in coming out. I have to be prepared for that possibility. It’s my duty as his parent to protect him at all costs.. straight or not.

I need this channel in this times so much. It helps me to stay in balance with myself when I see that people are not so different from each other. I believe that we could have a friendly future together.

That one guy was spot on about the reasons of homophobia "they make me feel akward" I bet that is actually the main feeling behind racism too. People who look/behave unlike what we have accustomed to make us feel akward and uncertain, and that sometimes leads to fear, anger and agression.

People who identifies themselves as "They/Them" or has dual identity must be taxed doubled!

Young people in big cities are pretty much the same everywhere. Try to ask some folks in country side.

Подписан на вас почти с самого начала, приятно видеть, что прислушиваетесь к аудитории в вопросах подачи контента, да и сам контент на высоте как всегда. Люблю вас 1420🥰

Многи пишут про Москву, что только там толерантные люди. Во многих городах России они такие же, от Смоленска до Владивостока, от национальных республик до маленьких городов. Старшее поколение принимает, молодежь глобализирована. Просто надо больше узнавать, больше интересоваться кульурой страны в живую, не демонизировать соотечественников.

The man who said he was homophobic because he was raised that way sums it up perfectly. As much as people like to think they think with their own head the upbringing and ideologies of individuals that were forced upon them are rooted deep inside. I don’t know what is it with societies to always look down on minorities, is it some biological thing to hate on the ones who are different from them or what?

10:00 we all need a woman like this in our lifes! ❤️

4:12 here is a translation error. He said, using a bad word, that if this happened, he would beat his child to a pulp.

"I'd like to keep my butt intact." That was hilarious, loved this video. Please continue.

Не особо верится в такие опросы, когда на практике везде, где бы я ни работал, считается правильным гнобить лгбт, и зашкваром, если НЕ гнобишь...

Каждый может быть тем, кем хочет. Это нормально. Это физиологически заложено и это не психическое заболевание. Главное чтобы были все счастливы

True support is only found out after the second question, the tune changed for a lot of people. To "accept" gay people is one thing (that doesn't mean much) but to actually prove it is another.

A further question you could ask is, "is being gay a choice or is it wiring?" Ask this to 100 homosexual people, then ask to 100 hetrosexuals. It might be eye opening.

You should get out of Moscow sometimes and visit smaller towns. My homeland, Poland is the same - people are tolerant and open-minded in big cities, where cultures intersect, but when you leave the biggest metropolies, even by 40km or so, things and people's opinions shift dramatically, sometimes by a 180 degrees, to a point of hatred and approval for genocide. Luckily, more and more people have access to the Internet, which makes them more informed.

THE LADY IN 10:01 IS AMAZING 😭❤

Автор, готова снять видео в своём городе с таким же вопросом, что бы доказать, что в провинции ситуация такая же. Жутко бесят люди, говорящие что провинция отсталая и там у людей мнение иное.

They gave much more accepting answers than some of the people I live around in the states I live in Florida btw

10:02 didnt expect to shed a tear or two, beautifully said!

а можно гетеро тоже будут тогда поскромнее быть? а то мне уже надоело смотреть как они языки друг другу в глотки пихают посередине тротуара или на остановке (впрочем им в принципе без разницы где это делать)

"Are you homophobic?" is a very loaded question. Everybody's automatic response is no. As soon as you phrased it differently or asked follow up questions, the real talk started... The average Russian opinion seems to be similar to ~1990s in a lot of western countries. "I don't have a problem with people being gay but nobody *_I_* know should be gay"

Daniil can you ask them more casual questions for a little change? Nice Russian songs, their favourite Russian food, if they have pets, best books they've read, best places to visit, what do they think about state healthcare, about parents, grandparents, fave celebs, fave cuisine, sun or moon, beaches or mountains, anything. The questions you asked were enough to show the world that Russians are just like every other person, people who won't accept it won't accept it, no matter how hard you try to show them. Who are ready to accept it have already accepted it. Just couple of casual questions please????

“It is important that everything is interconnected and stable”. That last comment was the best of all. I’m going to remember that one. ❤

A lot of Russian people are coming to Buenos Aires recently to live here, I'm glad to know that most of you are ok with the LGBTQ+ community. Argentina in general its very open and supportive about LGBTQ+ rights, as if should be.

Неожиданно, на самом деле, хотя думаю если приехать в какую-нибудь глубинку, то ответы будут другими)

I... kinda understand not wanting your kid to be gay, so long as it's not from a strictly homophobic standpoint. Being a parent is terribly difficult and frought with worry. My mum was always frightened on my behalf because I got bullied a lot. When I came out, to her, it was one more reason on top of many that she was scared for me.

Такую душевную речь пьяный мужчина в конце сказал, аж до слёз растрогало (я не шучу! ахах)

10:12 She is an amazing person!

I don't understand why so many people use the word "choice" when it comes to sexuality, even the interviewer. Btw, the woman on 8:25 didn't in fact use the word "choice", she said that the sexuality of her kid is the kid's BUSINESS not hers.

Total contradiction to say "I'm not homophobic" but then "except for my children" or "it's their choice" or "keep it in private"

Чем ниже уровень интеллекта, образования и эмпатии у человека, тем больше шансов того, что он будет ненавидеть какую-либо социальную группу. Я предлагаю все же не людям ЛГБТК+ проходить лечение, а тем, у кого есть зоосадизм или не контролируемая агрессия например. Вот эти люди опасны, которые говорят о том, что геи должны умереть.

I have a feeling that the last guy is living in denial & is in fact gay. He even said he hated them & I bet it's more about what he's trying to fight & hide about himself.

This is some great content.. it’s actually crazy.. stay safe bratan.

I didn't care. A man once flirted with me and I took it more as a compliment than an annoyance. I think when people are uncomfortable around gay people, they are insecure about their own sexuality. Why else would that bother you?

Watching this video for me is like scanning my previously messy room after tidying it up for a while and being relieved about how it's clean now for the most part

I am from Russia (Voronezh). A twofold feeling on this issue. On the one hand, I grew up in a religious family, where the standard way of life prevails, which is managed by my grandmother. She treated gays extremely negatively, I remember that relatives joked about them and did not accept them. Mom just disapproves, especially those who are feminine, but treat them with restraint in public, and says frankly what she thinks only to me. I know pansexual and asexual girls among my acquaintances. And when I found out, I didn't feel anything new in my attitude towards them. They are good people and this is their business. Even though I have written this, I feel that I am going against the family's attitudes... If I were, for example, a lesbian, then I would definitely not be accepted in my family. I would not have been taken seriously (at best), or would have been mistaken for a mentally ill, possessed, and in the name of saving my soul, they would definitely have taken me to the temple by force. There was a case when I openly admitted that I was an atheist. In the eyes of my family, I became possessed. They looked at me like a wild animal, they were afraid to approach, they poured holy water on me, read prayers over my head, they tricked me into going to the temple, where in the fall I was standing outside under strong pressure of cold water while a new cross was attached to my neck, and after that I walked around the church like a rat from canonization and kissed icons. It seems to me that homophobia comes from religion, where, let's say, simple non-standardness is perceived as a sin, a crime, a mistake. And I, as a person who grew up in a religious family, feel the pressure of religion on my choice of attitude towards people. It's as if religion has put invisible red signs "wrong" on everything that goes beyond it and I have to keep my distance. Maybe I'm judging only by my experience and it's not true, but I think so. I hope that the time will come when people will treat orientation as they now treat the choice of their favorite color.

Interesting! Lets be honest here, most people in most countries would answer no on the first question and hesitate or ramble or be negative on the second, even those who are gay themselves. I am a proud mother myself. 👍🌈

This is "NYET" is so cute

The new generation is the hope for a better world no matter the country , and it evolves better and better and more and more, to the displeasure of the reactionaries .

"i'd try to raise them differently" good luck raising a child with green eyes, you've got this 🤭

“So that everything is interconnected and stable” Unexpected profound wisdom from the guy at the end

Ask the same question to people outside St. Petersburg and Moscow and you'll see what happens

I like the answer "because I was raised that way" had to be the most honest response. Appreciate this segment.

8:06 - "I was raised like this" 👉 Bingo.

“I’d rather keep my butt intact” wtf 🤣

А теперь проведите такой же опрос в Челябинске 🙃

I actually agree about the private thing. I think sex and sexuality in general should be a private matter. This goes for all of us, not just gay and bisexual people.

The world has room for everyone.

0:42 FINALLY. Proof that kissing the homies goodnight isn’t gay

В маленьких городах все совершенно по другому)

Thank you for these insights into Russian opinion, many have surprised me, but are these people truly representative of the majority? They seem more sophisticated, educated & progressive, but perhaps that is my preconceived bias of greater Russia. In regard to averageperson882's comment, previously parent's attitudes used to be the same in the west because they were afraid their loved one would face discrimination & unwarranted difficulties. It is those who say "As long as I don't see it" or "As long as they keep it to themselves" who truly have unconscious bias.

I love how you can always tell who’s going to say yes lmfao

amazing the high cultural level and articulation of these young people.

You better ask people outside Moscow. I bet their answers will be quite different. Be careful 🤕

10:49 there was no way this man wasnt high

Если опрос был сделан в Москве, то это вполне ожидаемые для нее цифры. Надо было снимать ролик в глубинках, провинциях, тут то бы мы и увидели реальную картину.

I’ve been hooked on your channel since I first discovered it a couple of months ago, with the perhaps surprising result that I’m beginning to respect the good people of Russia more and more! 🇷🇺 ❤️👍

Спасибо за видео, вселяет надежду! Бабушка свои ответом растрогала до слез! ❤

Warms my heart to see that even though LGBT is being fronted as a sickness of the world in Putin's propaganda the russian people's kindness outshines the hatred.

Nice one, thanks. Reassuring and even surprising, not what I expected. Normally we get a message that Russians are generally homophobic. But again, as usual, you interviewed mostly cool cosmopolitan types in Moscow, it seems, so just how representative these are might be debatable. Let’s hear what they say in Grozni!

1:19 Homophobe? No, heretophobe. That would be a tough life.

Большая часть видео снята в самом хипстерском месте Москвы. Выборка совершенна не корректна

Funny, cause all the Russians I met cross the Europe, ALL had an issue with me being gay or with our community !! Dunno how ,,honest,, this is !!

Interesting how so many said its a choice but not one said that we are born with our sexuality. Is all of their heterosexuality a choice?

Well, while most answers are quite positive - most seem to miss a very important fact - it's neither a choice nor a preference. And it doesn't reflect back on the parents, they didn't do anything wrong or are in any way less heterosexual if their kids turn out to be LGBT.

Impressed with the positive views here!!❤❤❤

Выборка не репрезентативная. Очевидно что опрос был проведен в местах где можно встретить в основном только прогрессивных людей.

Danke!

I live in southern Italy and I really doubt this video could have been so calm here. I believe that many people here would have beaten you up just only for the children questions, because they would get very offended at it. And we live in "democracy"

Получила удовольствие. Люди, будьте счастливы!

No one "becomes gay". A person is gay or not gay, that's all, and they are all equal.

I liked the attitude of the lady at 10:03 the most. 😃 Funny thing is that many of them say "it's their choice" but of it course it isn't a choice, just like you can't choose your skin color or how many fingers you have. 😀

Love the ones willing to share despite the world we live in ❤

really intelligent and thoughtful response at 7:16. you dont hear many answers that honest and truthful

alright, I'm actually reading this as a half Spanish half French person and I was expecting Russians to be way more homophobic. I'm so pleased to see that society is progressing and that most people are supportive towards it :)

Even the drunken man understands that homophobia is wrong. I agree with the living lady. Other criteria matters. Sexual orientation isn’t one of them
