Vladimir Putin responded to the accusation of hypocrisy regarding the attitude towards LGBT people in Russia. Prominent Musician Elton John Such made such statement against Russian president, NTV reports.
"He is a brilliant musician, we are happy to listen to him, but I think he is mistaken. We really have a very calm attitude towards members of the LGBT community. Really - absolutely calm and unbiased. Let a person grow, become an adult, and then decide who he/she is. Leave the children alone. I have already said in an interview - five or six sexes have already been thought up, I don’t even understand what it is," Putin said.

According to Putin, the problem is that "the LGBT community is aggressively imposing its point of view on the overwhelming majority."
As reported, Elton John accused Putin of hypocrisy because of the words about the attitude towards LGBT. The musician sees duplicity in the words that Putin wants LGBT people to "be happy" and that "we have no problems with this."
