so, today we, russian queers, may become “extremists” by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don’t know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about “gay propaganda” and transgender people, now I’m just numb. I don’t want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
please hear us.
They banned transition in July. Today they’re banning LGBTQ+. They declared LGBT+ an extremist movement. All the people who are themselves are now a “movement”, and the organizations that help them are “extremist”. There’s no way back as they already banned it.
