MOSCOW, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia’s Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that LGBT activists should be designated as extremists, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.

A Reuters reporter in court heard it announce that it had approved a request from the justice ministry to recognise what it called “the international LGBT social movement” as extremist and to ban its activities.

    Tankies are authoritarians, the left/right angle doesn’t matter there.

      Inb4 “read On Authority, a book I haven’t read, and if I read it I’d realize it was not pro-authoritarianism but actually anti-pacifism”

        Yeah, no.

        As an anarchist, it’s just authoritarianism.

        Fuck your hierarchies and top-down systems of oppression. Fuck supporting genocidal dictators.

        Go read the conquest of bread and liberate yourself.
