t.A.T.u singer airs homophobic views in television interview: "I won't accept a gay son"

One half of Russian pop duo t.A.T.u has made offensive comments about homosexuality during a televised interview.

Translations of Julia Volkova’s opinions on Russian TV have revealed that the ‘All The Things She Said’ singer would not accept her son if he was gay.

Volkova asserted: “I would condemn him, because I believe that a real man must be a real man… God created man for procreation, it is the nature. The man for me is the support, the strength of… I won’t accept a gay son.”

These views come despite the fact that Volkova and her flame-haired band mate Lena Katina pretended to be a lesbian couple in their music videos and live performances.

On the subject of lesbianism, Yulia said: “A man has no right to be a f*g. Two girls together – not the same thing as the two men together. It seems to me that lesbians look aesthetically much nicer than two men holding their hands or kissing.”

For her closing comment on the subject she stated: “I have many gay friends. I believe that being gay is all still better than murderers, thieves or drug addicts. If you choose out of all this, being gay is a little better than the rest.”

Following the backlash the interview has drawn, the other half of t.A.T.u – Lena Katina – has released a statement via Facebook declaring:

“Hey, all! I am seeing some comments lately regarding my position about LGBT and my religion. I can say one thing: God is teaching us to live in love, to be tolerant and not to judge other people! And I do so! Love is love and it is a wonderful feeling! I think everybody should be free to love who they love and be with who they want to spend their life with!”
