One half of Russian girl duo t.A.t.U. – who became famous for their faux-lesbian act in the video for hit single "All the Things She Said" – said she would condemn her son if he were gay because it's not "natural".

In a Russian television interview, Julia Volkova said she would not want her son to be gay as it'd mean that he was not "manly enough", but having a lesbian daughter would be OK as young women are "aesthetically much nicer".

Here is a transcript from the interview:

Interviewer: Will you condemn your son, if he is gay?

Yulia Volkova: Yes, I would condemn him, because I believe that a real man must be a real man. God created man for procreation, it is the nature. The man for me is the support, the strength of… I won't accept gay son.

Interviewer: Stop stop… you just told me that you do not mind if your daughter was a lesbian. You were talking about freedom…

Yulia Volkova: This only applies to a daughter, not a son.

Interviewer: So you think that freedom can only be for women?

Yulia Volkova: I think for men it's a bad freedom. In our time, there is a very large number of frivolous girls (and a man can **** a large number of these girls). This is freedom for men. And a man has no right to be a ***. Two girls together – not the same thing as the two men together. It seems to me that lesbians look aesthetically much nicer than two men holding her hand or kissing.
