Russian GayLesBiTrans Site - International Section
Only a decade ago Russian gays were reduced to underground, our love did not dare to speak its name. Perestroika has made changes in our country possible. Russian gays threw off the yoke of Soviet-time constraints, the homosexuality has been decriminalized, and general attitudes have become more tolerant. It was Gay.Ru that brought together Russian gays giving them a sense of unity. Having become the leading gay task force in Russia and the most comprehensive web-site on all queer issues in Russia and the former USSR, Gay.Ru sets new horizons aiming to integrate and to share our experience with the International Rainbow Community.
