Nobel laureate Alexievich created a gay scandal in Belarus
Opposition Belarusian writer Pavel Sevyarynets was expelled from the national Pen Center for homophobia.
This was reported by the Belarusian service of Radio Liberty, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The reason was a letter from Sevyarynets, in which he accused the leadership of the PEN Center of “Cultural Marxism and LGBT propaganda.”
“The hatred and discrimination that the commissars of cultural Marxism keep talking about with foam at the mouth is obvious here. Christian? Throw him out of PEN, shut his mouth, or not allow him into the organization,” Severinets wrote.
Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich, recently elected head of the Belarusian Pen Center, called Severnitsa’s views “moral Middle Ages.”
“This homophobia is clearly borderline, I didn’t think that our politicians could be at this level. My proposal is to suspend the congress’s decision to admit Sevyarynets,” Alexievich said.
It is noteworthy that in July, Alexievich, apparently following European fashion, in an interview with the Polish publication Gazeta Wyborcza admitted that she loved in life both men and women.
