Russian actor wants to put all homosexuals 'in the oven'

A Russian actor best known for announcing a run for his country's presidency two years ago has stated that he would like to put all gay people "in the oven".

Ivan Okhlobystin, a popular star with fiercely conservative views, told an audience in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk that all homosexuals should be burned alive. According to the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, in comments translated by the Hollywood Reporter, Okhlobystin also compared homosexuality with fascism.

"I would put all the gays alive into an oven," the one-time Orthodox priest has been quoted as saying. "This is Sodom and Gomorrah! As a religious person, I cannot be indifferent about it because it is a real threat to my children!"

Okhlobystin later tweeted to confirm his comments. "The meaning was rendered correctly," he said. "Everyone has the right to express their opinions."

New Nazi Germany?

To me, under Putin, it seems they're reverting to Soviet times.

But there's no doubt that what this "guy" stated is vile in the extreme.
