    In 2013, he came out as gay, criticized an “Anti-homosexual propaganda” law and wrote an article for The Guardian, denouncing homophobia in Russia. In the last few years, he has supported laws banning LGBT propaganda and has had to apologize numerous times for sayng things that are so unhinged, that even the Russian media has called them “disgusting”. Anyone interested can take a look at the “2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine” section of his Wikipedia page. It contains gems, such as " drown the children" and “final solution”
