So disappointing
Oh, how civilized. Shameful !
The verbal and physical threats against LGBT in Armenia isn’t good and should stop, but gay rights is not a priority in Armenia, nor should it be until more important challenges are solved. Nobody in their right mind can say gay rights/acceptance is more important than securing borders, preventing war, economic development, fixing emigration, demographic problems, genocide recognition, environmental issues, national debt, and domestic violence.
Both young and old will never accept something like this in their culture/country. Pressure from young people signing petitions via social media is what stopped those films.
“So disappointing” and “Oh, how civilized. Shameful !” are exactly what Armenians are saying in response to these liberal values being pushed on them by Europe and the diaspora.
