DISINFO: UEFA award to Georgian football player means pederastisation of football

SUMMARY

The footballer of Georgia’s national football team and Vice-Captain Guram Kashia, who now plays in San Jose, is awarded by UEFA for supporting homosexuals. — He was awarded for supporting pederasts. He should not to take part in this Sodomise ceremony. We call on Kashia not to accept a gift bestowed by pederasts and their bosses and to be remembered as a champion of the continent and not as a champion of Conchitas. — Some have really decided to annihilate and degenerate us! What these sick people want from us, I don’t understand! We are forced that a man should sleep with a man and a woman with a woman! What do they want, sorry but they even start pederastisation of football.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on LGBT, equating homosexuality with paedophilia, and how cooperation with Europe is destroying Georgian society. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=Georgia&disinfo_issue=&disinfo_keywords%5B%5D=77174&date= UEFA granted Guram Kashia its inaugural #EqualGame award for his ‘courageous public stand for equality’. Last year, Kashia wore a rainbow armband during a game for Dutch team SBV Vitesse, and despite facing heavy backlash in Georgia, made further statements in support of equality. According to UEFA, Kashia’s gesture was greeted with an extremely negative and hostile response in certain quarters in his native Georgia. There were even calls for him to renounce playing for the national team. Nevertheless, he was defiant in the face of the abuse and threats he received, insisting he had no regrets about wearing the armband and underlining his full support for diversity and inclusion. www.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/news/newsid=2567743.html,
