Russia launches homophobic ‘guess who’s gay’ reality TV competition

[BUtterfield 8 41,818]

Vitaly Milonov, a homophobic Russian MP, is presenting a new reality TV series where contestants have to figure out which of them is gay to win.

During his time as a Member of the State Duma, the far-right politician has made a name for himself as the author of the country’s notorious anti-gay ‘propaganda’ law.

The 48-year-old is now presenting the online series, titled I’m Not Gay, and is featured prominently in its first episode.

At the end of each episode, the eight men competing have to vote out the contestant they think is the gay one.

They each share the two million rubles (£21,000) prize if they guess correctly, but if the gay man manages to avoid detection, he takes home the money.

When they voted out the wrong person at the end of episode one, he said that they had “killed an innocent person.”

You can watch the first episode, which is 52-minutes-long, below or by clicking here.

Genuinely curious about their target audience

Pfft, please, all of those guys are straight lbr. Unless you're stupid enough, as a gay man in Russia, you wouldn't want your safety at risk by exposing yourself on national TV to millions of fellow Russians for being a henny, when they clearly know the repercussions of getting killed.

This is a rip off of the game show "The Hustler". The only difference is, I truly believe this is prepping the Russian population for something beyond just a game show. We all saw what they did in Chechnya.

Is this like a sick and twisted way to expose gay people in Russia to send them to concentration camps in Siberia?

Jail to all involved in this  

[Guillaume Hamon 6,992]

Damn the obsession with us... This dude thinks more about homosexuality than homosexuals.

Harm us then make money out of us... Vile af.

So is it an 18+ show since talking to minors about gays is illegal in Russia? And the gay can even come out the winner?? Are we sure this is homophobic and far right?  Homophobics shooting themselves in the foot by making homosexuality a massive topic on a popular TV show

all of them after an hour in a room alone with me .... 

in all seriousness though, this is truly disgusting and everyday, i feel like the world is getting more and more similar to black mirror 

[Neroneau 1,017]

What feels homophobic and gay at the same time?

[Vengaboy 1,421]

what a gay show

How the hell did they make a TV show out of a 10 minute YouTube video

[Reginald 13,841]

I've yet to be proven wrong: every "Straight" man who is an obsessive homophobe has serious issues with their own sexuality.

These men probably watch the raunchiest, filthiest b***eback g** p*rn available through VPN access, every night. P*tin, especially.   Come out, already.
