t.A.T.u singer reveals she’s a raging homophobe

t.A.T.u singer Julia Volkova, who made a name for herself as part of a faux lesbian pop act, has told Russian television that she would condemn her son if he was gay because it would make him less of a man.

“I believe that being gay is all still better than murderers, thieves or drug addicts. If you choose out of all this, being gay a little better than the rest,” she said.

Volkova reportedly wanted to make it clear on Russian television that she is “not against gays”.

“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,” she said.

However, Volkova said she would not have an issue if her daughter was a lesbian.

“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,” she said.

Volkova and her t.A.T.u co-singer Lena Katina developed a lesbian persona, despite both of them previously being married to men.
