Stop gayness: grow a beard

-

RUSSIA’s top religious leader says men should grow beards to protect them from being turned into GAYS.

Metropolit­an Kornily, Primate of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church, reckons the West is full of homosexual­s due to a lack of beards.

And he urges his fellow Russians to protect themselves from becoming good with colours by growing facial fuzz.

He said: “God gave us the rules. It is written that God created everyone with a beard.

“The West has completely fallen away from this concept, but this is clear.

“The icons – we cannot imagine Christ or saints without a beard.”

Although sodomy was decriminal­ised in Russia back in 1993 the country had previously imprisoned people found guilty of homosexual acts.
