A Russian magazine editor claims his publisher demanded he censor a book that mentions homosexuality in animals because it violates the country’s “LGBT propaganda” law.
Viktor Kovylin, editor of the scientific journal Batrachospermum, wrote on Telegram that his publisher told him the descriptions of same-sex behavior in a book on animal sexual behavior were against the law because they did not express “disgust or criticism” for the acts.
“Apparently, neutral scientific descriptions of homosexual behavior, without disgust or criticism, now fall under the category of propaganda for non-traditional relationships!” Kovylin wrote on Telegram, according to a translation.
Fascism is a radically conservative ideology obsessed with promotion of (what the fascist sees as) traditional values and behaviours. That includes cisheteronormativity, as queerness isn’t traditional anywhere.
I think their view of traditions is also very selective. E.g. in Germany they prefer to connect with paganism and scandinavian things and not actual German / Christian traditions.
It depends. I can’t speak to german neonazis, but the original ones had both the volkish paganism and positive Christianity. The former was an attempt to reconstruct pre Christian German religion, but the volkish movement was heavily built on just godawful archeology. The latter was a bastardization of Christianity in a way very similar to what you see in the US these days where the party and its line are core assumptions in interpretation of their Christianity.
That said, yeah the neonazis in America are also really into Norse paganism. I assume it’s because of the volkish influence or the big tough manly guy parts, and them not noticing that Odin does magic (which is womanly) and Loki is out there giving birth and siring kids. We also have a fair bit of really progressive Norse pagans here. Idk why but it seems to be the primary reconstructed paganism in the country in my experience.
I mean, isn’t it traditional in parts of south/south-east Asia?
And the Mediterranean… These people will gush about Rome and ignore the gallae, who were similar in role and experience to the hijra
