“As president, I forgive the girls. I take this blame for you, for the old people. So we didn’t pay proper attention. So we didn’t work somewhere,” he said in an address to the National Assembly, while the deputies competed in the hall to see who would laugh the most at each of Lukashenko’s quips or jokes.
Although Lukashenko is not particularly favorable towards representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation, he praised their work in the state administration. “May God grant non-gays to work like them. There were no negative characteristics. None, I checked in different directions,” he said.
However, this does not change Lukashenko’s firm conviction that no propaganda of such “disgusting relations” is allowed in society.
