Says Socialist leader
Former chairwoman of the BSP, or Bulgarian Socialist Party, Kornelia Ninova further stunned already flabbergasted Bulgarian audiences by pointing out "it was too early in the day" to talk about "unorthodox sexual practices" such as fisting. Ninova was being interviewed on a morning show by bTV, a major television station. She resigned her post as leader of the BSP, the heir to the former Bulgarian Communist Party, in the wake of the June 2024 election that brought disastrous results for her party.
Kornelia Ninova further stated that "in the West" there was an ongoing campaign to promote hormonal therapy for underage children and adolescents to change their sex.
Under Ninova, the BSP has been a staunch opponent to anything that even remotely smacked of protection of rights of alternative sexes. Ninova personally spearheaded an effort to prevent Bulgaria from approving the Istanbul convention against violence to women and children which she reframed as "promoting" LGBTQ+ ideas. At the time of writing, Bulgaria remains outside the scope of the convention.
Asked by bTV's anchor, Maria Tsantsarova, what she thought about "fisting," "tribadism" and "fingering," Ninova said: "You have to put on a complete necklace of small red balls... I cannot pronounce these terms on air – not that early in the day."
To make her anti-LGBTQ+ point, Ninova produced a brochure she claimed she picked up at a private highschool. "Do you think it is normal to tell minors about lesbian and bisexual practices?" she asked.
In actual fact, the brochure, published by a foundation called Bilitis, aims to educate adolescents about safe sex, about saying "no" to undesired sex, and about where sex ends and violence begins.
Kornelia Ninova refused to clarify where is the borderline between quoting facts and political propaganda, leaving TV viewers uncertain whether the recently adopted anti-LGBTQ+ legislation was supposed to prevent "unnatural practices" or just make some quick hay politically ahead of the next snap election.
