90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Kenneth Accuses Russia and TLC Of Being Homophobic
TLC is airing 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way in Russia after cutting out Kenneth and Armando’s story which has offended a large number of fans all over the world. Russia has a strong stance against homosexuality and Kenneth feels that no one should censor love.
He expresses his disappointment with the fact that they have to make a lot of effort to show the world that when it comes to love, gender doesn’t matter. According to him, the world needs tolerance, acceptance, and should never silence hope and love.
Kenneth emphasizes the fact that love is love and every human being has the right to be in love with who they want to. Even Armando feels that this is a shame, he doesn’t blame TLC. They have to comply with the government and he understands that. Plus, Armando feels that they shouldn’t deprive the audience of other couples’ amazing stories.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Other Cast Members React to TLC’s Decision
Other 90 Day Fiance cast members reacted to the news. Emily, Sasha’s wife said that homophobia is real in Russia. Even though she loves the country and it’s like a second home for her, she would never want her son’s schooling from there. She wants him to grow in an environment where they teach him love and acceptance. But David pointed out that they are showing Kenneth and Armando on Pillow Talk.
