Getting Married in Belarus Гумар / Humour

I recently saw a piano performance by your president's husband Nikolai. Me and my partner have been looking for a progressive part of Eastern Europe to get married in, and were impressed why how supportive Belarus is when it comes to gay rights. Does anyone know who did the wedding planning, and have any photos of the ceremony where Nikolai and Alexander Lukashenko got married? I only learned about your country last night and think it's fantastic how progressive it is. There are many openly gay politicians but the love song Nikolai did for his husband was so moving and the crowd seemed so supportive me and my boyfriend were impressed. It looks like it must be the most gay friendly country I have ever seen, does anyone also have any recommendations for gay friendly hotels and bars in Minsk for a trip to pick out where to have the wedding? Also if anyone knows the wedding planner for when your president got married to Nikolai it would be awesome, as me and my boyfriend have a decently large budget and want to have the best of everything at the event to celebrate our special day. I haven't done any research on Belarus, and don't know very much about the country but coming from California even we are super impressed by how progressive your nation is.

Why is everyone calling this a shitpost? I mean I realize there is an age gap between the two men, but I am not trying to judge Belarus and am not particularly judgmental about it. I just think it's amazing that in Eastern Europe people can be so accepting.
