Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.
Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.
Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

The loftiest ruler is barely known among those below. Next comes a ruler people love and praise. After that, one they fear, And then one they despise.
How sincere will the Russians remain for this man?
extremist organization
Of course, why did nobody ever think of targetting the President of Homosexual International?! Perhaps a drone strike? I bet he’s hiding in a school or hospital somewhere in Ukraine.
Lets see Lemmygrad.ml appology card.
Imagine the constant thinking about gay and transsexual specific activies that’s leads somebody to the point of voting to make them illegal.
Regular people don’t constantly think about it, so they don’t actually care one way or the other.
No wonder that it’s extremelly common to discover that the very people who keep raging about homosexuallity were closet homosexuals.
Grow up, embrace whatever you trully are and move on: no need to punish others for your own sexual self-repressions.
How I spent summer. Essay.
In the morning we with my mom went to beach. There we’ve seen jellyfish(recognized as unwanted organization, included in the list of foreign agents).
Then it rained(recognized as unwanted organization, included in the list of foreign agents). After rain came rainbow(which is element of extremist movement symbolics).
Also mom showed me memorial in city center. Memorial is included in list of foreign agents, its activity in Russia is suspended by the court’s decision
To everyone cracking jokes about a gay uprising, it’s a lot simpler than any of that.
They just want to exterminate the gays. Like literally. They want to find that portion of the population and destroy it, because they think it’s disgusting and evil.
That’s it. Putin and the Russian conservatives are going after gays because it’s an easy win with their conservative base, and they can claim moral superiority. Also distracts from Ukraine.
If you are gay in Russia… Its a very bad time to be gay in Russia.
American “conservatives” are over here drooling at the possibilities.
Meanwhile “pro lgbtq” hexbears keep licking Putins boots
That’s because they’re all 12 years old and have no brain. When you talk to them it’s quite clear they don’t actually know what they’re talking about. My favourite thing to do is quote events and dates at them of things that that didn’t happen, and most of the time they don’t pick up on it.
when you argue they will just post the pig poop balls
An obvious sign of an intellectual superior individual. I don’t think.
That sissy, lemme.ml isn’t exactly any better
Russia bad
Yes, Russia oppressing LGBTQ+ people is bad.

Russia looking a lot like their old enemy the Nazis these days.
Ironically, Russians think they are fighting Nazis in Ukraine.
I don’t know people incorrectly try to associate everything with Nazi. It’s hard to take anyone serious when they don’t even know what a Nazi is.
This isn’t dissimilar from how they were under the Soviet Union. Russians are just going to Russian.
Not so much “Russians being Russian” as it is “Fascist power structure being fascist power structure “
@Stamau123 What were they looking for 👀
People who like getting their shirt off?They’re creating lists of people and looking into their associated social networks. Do you want to be on a list of people your government has suddenly associated with crime and terrorism because your cousin went to a gay bar?
@Szymon Unfortunately tactics used in the american south of course.
People who want to pretend this couldn’t happen in America need to realise 2021 Maryland used obscenity laws banning oral sex to raid a gay bookstore and arrest people for having sex in private. That’s a somewhat rural part of one of the most progressive states, there are far too many republicans that would love to use some flimsy excuse to criminalize gay people and throw as many in jail as possible.
Well well well. I thought Russia said the nazis were in Ukraine. Huh. Funny, that.
both can be true
Sure it can. But that doesn’t mean it is.
Oh I’m sure if you look hard enough you’ll find one or two nazis hiding anywhere, even if they don’t identy as nazi or even know what it means.
But Russia, with its actions, have proven themselves to be an imperialist, nationalist, fascist piece of shit. And while both could be true, actions speak louder.
integrating the azov brigade into the national guard sounds like a bunch of Nazis are in the government to me.
Yeah, it’s a problem. A threatened country integrated a fascist militia into its army. Yes, and that’s bad.
But the country as a whole does not like Nazis at all, and doesn’t vote for them.
“In the 2019 Ukrainian elections, the far-right nationalist electoral alliance, including Svoboda, National Corps, Right Sector, Azov Battalion, OUN, and Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, under-performed expectations. In the presidential election, its candidate Ruslan Koshulynskyi received 1.6% of the vote, and in the parliamentary election, it was reduced to a single seat and saw its national vote fall to 2.15%, half of its result from 2014 and one-quarter of its result from 2012.”

The country has a Jewish president and a Muslim cabinet minister. Sound like a Nazi country to you?

identity politics are boring. there were Jewish collaborators in the third Reich.
Why do you care about what happens in Russia, though?
