Q: I know you're aware and deeplyconcerned about Russian government's attitude to LGBT community. I am as acitizen can judge the problem from inside. The adult society of our country isreally afraid that if they let the LGBTs into the screens, press and otherpublic platforms to speak their truth and to stand for their rights in all possibleways, this could affect the children's and teenagers' choice of their sexualorientation (that's why they call it "propaganda"). What do you thinkis it possible to influence somebody's choice from the outside somehow? Or it'spurely innate?
我知道你足够了解和关心俄罗斯政府对LGBT群体的态度。我作为一名俄罗斯人，可以对这些问题作出评价。我国的成人社会非常担心如果让LGBT群体出现在荧屏、新闻媒体和其他公众平台上说出真相和争取平等权利，会影响青年孩子们将来的性取向（这也是他们将这种行为称为“鼓吹手段”的原因）。你认为靠外部因素就能影响他人的选择，有可能吗？还是天生便如此？
A: (I hope I understood your question correctly.) We don't choose oursexuality. We choose whether we're going to be true to ourselves. Whether we'regoing to give ourselves permission to be fully-expressed. Whatever that lookslike.
（我希望我没理解错你的问题。）我们没有选择我们的性取向。我们选择了做最真实的自己，选择让自身情感完全释放，选择接受原本的样子。
Seeing someone who's gay on"screens, press and other public platforms" isn't going to make astraight kid gay. But it will make a gay kid feel less alone. And that'scritical. It's critical every kid knows there are others out there who are justlike them. That there's a larger community excited and waiting to embrace,accept, and cherish them for who they are.
同性恋群体出现在“荧屏、新闻媒体和其他公众平台”上并不会使异性恋孩子变成同性恋。但这会让同性恋孩子感到没那么孤单。这是关键所在。让孩子们知道这世上有很多同类朋友，这很重要，让他们知道外面有更庞大的群体在期待拥抱、接纳和珍惜他们。
