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.
Nothing happened to lgbt people when Trump was in office. It won’t happen if he gets voted back in. Like Trump or not, he’s never been anti-lgbt.
Trump is anti anyone who doesn’t conform to his view of how people should be. This is especially problematic because he also doesn’t trust intelligence, and of course to Trump, if you can successfully open a crisp packet you’re considered dangerously intelligent.
