tATu singer would 'condemn' her son if he were gay

Yulia Volkova says she would condemn her son if he were gay.
The 29-year-old t.A.T.u. singer made the statement during her appearance on Ukrainian game show Lie Detector this week. Volkova openly supported the LGBT community for years, but appeared to have changed her viewpoint on the program.
"Yes, I would condemn [my son if he were gay], because I believe that a real man must be a real man," the singer asserted. "God created man for procreation, it is the nature. The man for me is the support, the strength... I won't accept a gay son."
Volkova and Lena Katina formed t.A.T.u. in 1999, and gained fame with their 2002 single "All the Things She Said." The music video for the song featured the duo kissing in the rain, and the women often kissed at concerts and other public events. The pair denied they were lesbian in 2003, but frequently expressed their support for the LGBT community.
"Our slogan is to love and it's not important whom to love," Volkova declared in 2006. "We want to say that a boy can love a boy and a girl can love a girl. If all people would love each other, it would be easier to live in this world. If people are led by hatred and evil, nothing good would happen from this."
The declaration stands in stark contrast to the singer's statements on the game show. Volkova went on to say lesbians are more acceptable than gay men because two women look "aesthetically nicer," and asserted she is not homophobic.
"I want to say that I'm not against gays, I just want my son to be a real man, not a [expletive]," the star declared. "I have many gay friends. I believe that being gay is still better than murderers, thieves or drug addicts. If you choose out of all of this, being gay a little better than the rest."
