Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, today commented on the issuance of the first gay and bisexual passport in America, saying "outrageous shifts imposed on the world under the cover of free choice."

Zakharova wrote on Telegram: "Here's the X - Men Transformers," saying the United States of America has issued its first gay and bisexual passport, as part of Washington and the West's overall favoritism of the M community in recent years.

Ned Price, the US state spokesman, said that the department had unveiled the first US passport issued with an X stamp for gays and bisexuals, which would be available to all applicants starting in 2022. We look forward to submitting it to anyone applying for a passport once the required system has been completed and the form updated in early 2022. "
