Russia moves to ban 'international LGBT movement' for 'extremism'
France 24 ^

Posted on 11/17/2023 9:08:22 PM PST by FarCenter

Russia's justice ministry said it had "lodged an administrative legal claim with the Supreme Court to recognise the International LGBT public movement as extremist and ban its activity in Russia."

The ministry did not specify whether it was seeking the closure of any specific groups or organisations, or if the designation would apply more broadly to the LGBTQ community, causes and individuals.

The proposed ban is the latest in a long-standing crackdown against LGBTQ people in Russia, which has escalated since Russia launched its offensive on Ukraine last February.

Russia has used the extremist label against swathes of rights organisations and opposition groups, opening up their members to criminal prosecution.

The justice ministry accused the "LGBT movement operating on the territory of the Russian Federation" of "various signs and manifestations of extremism, including incitement to social and religious hatred".

It did not specify what exactly it meant by that movement, but said a court hearing was scheduled for November 30.

The head of the Sphere human rights group, which advocates for the Russian LGBTQ community, criticised the announcement.

"Russian authorities are once again forgetting that the LGBT+ community are human beings," said Sphere head Dilya Gafurova, who has left Russia.

Authorities "don't just want to erase us from the public field: they want to ban us as a social group," Gafurova added.

LGBTQI is indeed an extremist movement. I can definitely understand why Russia wants to protect their children from this detrimental ideology.

LGBTQ is a Globalist construct designed to erode the fabric of the West.

False. There are no laws against homosexual behavior among consenting adults. They certainly ban anything having to do with perversion of children, but more importantly - they ban homosexuality as an organized political movement.

They know marxism all to well - and how how radicals (now from neo-marxists in the west) undermine society via identity politics and sexual/gender confusion
