Putin’s Russia: first arrests under new anti-LGBT laws mark new era of repression
The Conversation ^ | 4/8/24 | Sergey Katsuba

Just over three decades after Russia decriminalised homosexuality in 1993, three people have been arrested and charged under the country’s harsh new anti-LGBT laws and could face ten years in prison for membership of an “extremist organisation”.

The arrests are a clear indication of how Russia has come full circle on its persecution of sexual minorities under Vladimir Putin.

On March 21, the district court of Orenburg city in south-western Russia ordered the arrest of nightclub owner Vyacheslav Khasanov. The nightclub, which is called Pose, has never explicitly identified as a gay club – styling itself as a “parody theatre bar”, it hosted parties with drag queen artists and go-go dancers as entertainment.

Russia arresting queers while America arrests Trump supporters.

It may soon come down to a point where living in Russia means more freedom than the US.

Finally the Left has a reason to start the final war they’ve always wanted.

Nothing wrong with protecting your children from perverted freaks. I wish we were that sane. What America is going through now is deliberate predation and destabilization perpetrated by our garbage ruling class.

Tip to Vlad - look for bearded individuals wearing dresses entering elementary schools and libraries. Lock ‘em up.

Are they arresting quiet men and women who have discreet arrangements with same sex friends. Or are they arresting LGBTQ like this? There is a difference. IMG-9730

If the left can have the Proud Boys arrested because they’re an “extremist organization,” then we can’t object when Russia arrests LGBT members for being part of an “extremist organization.” I just wish they’d all return to the closet because it’s nobody’s business what sex acts ppl engage in within their own homes.

Gay people don’t deserve special rights. But, neither do they deserve to arrested.

“This has been a long time coming. In 2013 Russia enacted the so-called “gay propaganda law”.”

The Western/Neocon hatred of Russia goes back to EXACTLY this year, 2013. It’s not a coincidence.

There is a difference.


Is there? They’re all, every single one of them, perverts, from the brilliant Douglas Murray to the equally brilliant (and funny) Stephen Fry. Just because they don’t dress up in outrageous drag and openly try to get our children to be just as perverted as they are, doesn’t mean they’re okay. Maybe they don’t all go after little boys, but they’re still perverted. I feel sorry for them, I pity them, because something went wrong in their upbringing to cause them to be twisted, and that part is definitely not their fault, but like each one of us, they have a responsibility to do the right thing, to be moral and upright, and as long as they indulge in their perversion, they cannot be that person. I pray the Lord will have mercy on them and reveal Himself to them, that they will find their way out of their perversion.
