"Better to be a dictator than gay," said Belarussia's Alexander Lukashenko against his critics. He was branded as "Europe's Last Dictator" by Guido Westerwelle,a gay German Foreign Minister.
"This is absolute hysteria," Belta reported him as saying. "And as you can see, at the forefront there are two types of politicians ... one lives in Warsaw, another in Berlin."
"Whoever was shouting about dictatorship there ... when I heard that, I thought: it's better to be a dictator than gay," said Lukashenko on Reuters report.
Lukashenko has openly criticized homosexulaity and said he "did not like gays."
