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.
Ah yeah, the daily reminder that Russia has indeed become the comical evil country as it was always portrayed in Tom Clancys books, if not worse…
good for russia.
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
For a second I read it as if we invadeed a Russian gay bar and revealed that Russia was ok with gays.
Let’s allow Europe and US deal with their gays, lgbt, the Papa-gay, hermofrodites, lesbians, feminists, gay-lesbians, horses, half-men-half-women, lesbian-gays and other bitter, angry shit. Russia will deal with their men and women on its own.
Why do you care about what happens in Russia, though?
People want to be treated like human beings regardless of who they love? Yes, that’s a dangerously extreme view. Wanting to exterminate them all is perfectly normal, however.

“Seriously? I’m being arrested for being gay?” Extremely gay.
Where is that from?
Sad news for Russia. If only they made matchmaking lists instead of hit lists
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?
clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services
That’s the worst part. Being on any list of this state is a danger. Especially when they want another batch of bodies to once again storm Avdyivka. Hope they can nope-out from all possible traps. It’s just… it would be totally spelled out they are here because they are gay, and it means a faith worse than death. Place is cursed.
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.
Extremist movement, not organization. Organization needs to be registered as one, while extremist movement is from amendments to “extremism” laws, that were used to ban Golos movement first.
First they came for the >!socialists!< democrats, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a >!socialist!< democrats.
Then they came for the >!trade unionists!< journalist, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a >!trade unionist!< journalist.
Then they came for the >!Jews!< Gays, and I did not speak out— Because I was not >!a Jew!< gay.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Also they to ban Golos movement first
All very deep, except the Russians probably arrest or kill anyone who speaks out, so it’s not exactly as simple as that.
Russia bad
Yes, Russia oppressing LGBTQ+ people is bad.
You got that right. Russia is not required to be bad, though. We’re all hoping they improve. Any day now.
I dunno if anyone is interested but of you got some spare coins laying around the Canadian based charity Rainbow Refugee has been helping get out threatened LGBTQIA+ folks from multiple countries including Russia for quite a while now by arranging sponsorships and legal support and advice for LGBTQIA asylum seekers. If you know anyone looking to get out or would like to donate here’s a link :
My daughter is queer and if Trump wins, we will probably have to seek refuge in Canada. I have an uncle there, which will also help, but this is a good resource. Thanks.
People said that last time trump won and literally nobody actually followed through
Lots of people have been moving across the border for residency. Canadian politicians have been complaining about it.
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.
When you are losing the war you started.
Blame gays.
When your policies fail.
Blame gays.
When your government is less popular than cancer.
Blame gays.
When you are getting mass protests.
Blame Jews. But Jews have nukes, oops. Then blame gays!
Can we not blame gay Jews?
Like especially the communist gay Jews, the true root of global disharmony
No, Israel has nukes. The Jews have a space laser though, which is better. Netanyahu lost his space laser privileges a long time ago, I could maybe petition the Council to let The Gays have his time slot?
So what I’m hearing is give The Gays™️ nukes…
Maybe they should. Carve out a piece of land and make it a homeland for them which would included a whole mess of weapons

That’s one way to create a rainbow
Agreed. I appreciate a lot of Russian culture, the use of matrices, etc and some of their discoveries and all as much as the next guy, but it’s sad to see the way that their government is going about with things.
Fuck it half the problem is that straight people and breeders consistently expect themselves to not be held accountable for being assholes. Being the majority should not mean you are free from consequences when you cause harm. Love returns threefold.
I honestly could not care if there was another world war at this stage. People who claim to give a fuck about humanity as a whole really need to start justifying why they don’t deserve a war and actually try to fix their own shit or mediate stuff.
Consider that if someone is aware they’re a minority and attempt to do their best to get level without looking to do harm to the majority status quo, if they know that they could do better, they’re giving you an opportunity to step up to the plate, and as for their morals ,at least they’re standing up for themselves, even better if they’re standing up for others by trying to teach and lead by example.
It’s like, how is it you can seriously have the audacity to ask for good things for anyone, yourself, society or your own children when you treat people like such shit that they literally choose to leave.
It’s like people asking why people leave Saudi, Russia or China etc, and you just only have to look at how ridiculously stupid and pansy the way they treat their children, saying things like they wish that they suffer for being disobedient, for being gay or for being bisexual or for not having a haircut, or for driving a car, or for not following their advise. Anyone with half a braincell would see it as a petty and weak attempt to feminise and handicap someone into compliance with the status quo simply for something they can’t change.
It’s like, would I try and punish a woman by dropping a nail under the tyre or cutting the line for their brake pedal for not knowing how to change their brakepads before their wof is due? No I would not, because it’s dumb as fuck and an idiotic attempt to try teach someone a lesson that very transparently demonstrates bad faith and a sadistic desire to assert dominance more than a real commitment to someone’s well being and long term future.
This comment is a minor masterpiece of rambling disjointed incoherence. I couldn’t do better if I tried. Were you roaring drunk when you wrote it? Do you even remember writing it?
