Apostolos Gletsos clarifies controversial statement from a decade ago

Actor and former Mayor of Stylida, Apostolos Gletsos, recently addressed a controversial remark he made ten years ago, specifically the phrase 'the fish is grilled on both sides'. During an appearance on the 'Anestea' vidcast, Gletsos stated that the comment was a calculated strategic move rather than a casual remark. He explained that he had discussed the matter with his family, including his daughter and the mother of his child, prior to making the statement. According to Gletsos, the goal was to challenge patriarchal structures and provide support for minors facing violence or discrimination due to their sexual orientation. He argued that simply stating he had experienced same-sex relationships would not have effectively addressed the underlying social problems he sought to highlight. Gletsos also noted that during his tenure as mayor, he received reports from women regarding violent incidents in their lives. He maintained that he felt a moral obligation to make the controversial public statement to challenge societal attitudes at the time.
