" Look at that! You are the 28th person to tweet a message of love from Saint Petersburg"

I don't know where you get your geolocation data from, but I don't live anywhere near russia.

Maybe they just make everyone pretend they live in Russia, so Putin might be convinced that there is a huge movement for reform. You know, like that's gonna matter to him.

There is a huge speculation that Putin is gay himself, but apparently he is happy staying in the closet.

Name a great leader we speak of in awe, horror or affection, surrounding whom there hasn't been huge speculation whether they were gay.

This speculation happens to be backed by facts. I've never heard speculations that Mao or Kennedy or Hitler were gay.

I have heard hundreds about Hitler, I'm afraid. It is often inspired by his lack of affections for women, and the fact that Eva Braun was the only he ever really got close to. But the truth is more likely that Hitler was asexual than homosexual.

As for Mao, I don't think most of us knows about his personal life. So that is probably hindering the speculations.

And why do you consider Kennedy a great leader?

I consider people who got airport named after them great leaders. JK.

Read the fine print, we set the twitter geolocation for your tweet, if you have geolocation on.

Isn't it kinda fun, to have sent a tweet from Russia? Just imagine you're standing in a big square in St Petersburg with a proud rainbow flag, inviting Russians to Stockholm!
