Statue of Gay Adult Star Billy Herrington Could Go Up in Odessa
Ukraine to replace a statue of the Russian Empress Catherine II, better known as Catherine the Great, with one depicting U.S.
gay porn star Billy Herrington, has gained enough signatures to be reviewed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.“Catherine II is a controversial historical figure whose actions caused great damage to Ukrainian statehood and culture,” the petition reads. “The very fact of erecting this monument was a terrible mistake, and every day of its continued existence signals that Odesa is in the zone of Russian cultural influence.
It's time to change that. A monument project is proposed where the actor Billy Herrington will sit at the bar with a bottle of beer.”The petition needed at least 25,000 signatures in order for it to be recognized and responded to by Zelensky, according to Ukrainian law.
It now has more than 26,000.Ukraine is currently at war with Russia after it was invaded by the country earlier this year. Odessa has not fallen to Russian military assaults, which have ramped up in recent days.
