Russia steps up attacks on LGBTQ+ people amid a climate of fear

Hello,

I want to learn and understand why Russia is doing this? From what i have read on other sites the laws against allowing LGBT people have only been getting stronger, meanwhile in CPC the society is moving slowly more progressively in some ways on the topic of LGBT, like they don't target them like what is happening in russia.

I'd really like to see this topic and article discussed.

What are other lemmygrad communities for discussing topics like this in the future?

Thank you.

  • what else is to be expected from a capitalist country with active interference of religion in state affairs? i don't believe queer liberation will ever be possible under capitalism anyways.

    despite that, these news are still tragic of course. the state's treatment of queer people in my country is similar to what russia is trying to implement and i don't wish than on anyone. even though homosexuality is not expliclitly illegal here and transitioning is technically legal, gay* people still get arrested on prostitution and public indecency charges instead of homosexuality charges, and trans people can't change their legal identification anymore because the committee that would authorize it has not operated in years and is leaving trans people in limbo.
