DISINFO: A homosexual cult prevails in Europe and dissent is forbidden
SUMMARY
LGBT influence is imposed across Europe with a sense of untouchable authority, dominating political, legal, and cultural spheres. This agenda is aggressively promoted at the highest levels, infiltrating and reshaping key institutions. Even major global events like the Olympics have been expropriated, reflecting the far-reaching control of LGBT advocacy over all areas of society.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative depicting Western civilisation as in decline, portraying liberalism and Western values as threats to traditional social and spiritual norms, national identities, and gender roles.
This narrative argues that liberalism causes moral decay, weakens family and community structures, and promotes deviance. It employs the "threatened values" argument to criticise liberal views on women's, minority, and LGBTIQ+ rights, falsely positioning Russia as morally superior and the global defender of traditional values.
Pro-Kremlin outlets frequently distort and undermine progressive Western attitudes by misrepresenting respect for individual choices as state policies imposing actions like sex changes. This tactic serves to advance their agenda by attacking Western values.
For instance, the Kremlin’s propaganda machine criticised the artistic elements of the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony in Paris on July 26, suggesting that the West is anti-Christian and using this to incite hate speech against sexual minorities.

Thomas Jolly's purpose in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics was to show that discriminating stereotypes could be broken, because if we are all different, we are all alike as human beings and can live together. The five Olympic rings are all different but together. He denied that he intended to depict the Last Supper with Jesus Christ.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation frequently includes a narrative that the West mocks Christianity at every opportunity. This narrative often portrays the West as morally corrupt, Satanic, and pagan, accusing it of promoting LGBTIQ+ propaganda while losing all common sense. It also includes claims that the West is destroying Russia with propaganda promoting perversions. Other Olympic-related disinformation includes false reports, such as claims that a gender test revealed Algerian boxer Iman Khelif as a biological male or that the director of the Olympic Games opening ceremony was struck by lightning as divine retribution.
