Russia's Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the "LGBT movement" should be designated as extremist, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.
A law that is built upon decades of rising hate and discrimination, this is just giving that a rubber stamp. It has been terrible for a while. Watch the Russian news, they speak about the community like vermin and pests.
Thats why you need to trace this back to 1991, where the justification for this started. The USSR was actually starting to liberalize laws regarding LGBT+ people and I think they would have followed the same timeline as China/Cuba in modern times if that never happened. Thats why the ongoing war is connected to this, because the tensions created with the collapse of the USSR have never been resolved.
I agree with you comrade, my position is ceasefire and LGBT+ and communist liberation in Russia; I do see the war as degrading conditions and enabling this path, and I think the route out of it requires a ceasefire and concessions from Ukraine.
I truly hope you are right. I agree with your stance, but if we are truthful then all we can say is that only time will tell.
I also I didn’t mean to be hostile with you, this is just a very sore subject, and it’s painful when some people blindly push their “critical” support at any cost, which in this case might happen to be my life. You have not done that however, and I hope you have a good day comrade. Thanks for your responses.

I fully agree with you, but that doesn’t answer the question. This is still an unjustifiable and disgusting reactionary path.
