Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.
Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.
Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.
Fuck off, liar. Transgender ban in the military against the advice of generals in easily the most obvious one.
The best you could say is that he let several states set up ways to systematically genocide LGBT people, (cough cough Don’t Say Gay) but he also actively fought to take away several of their rights, so that would still be a mischaracterization.
Trump wouldn’t give a shit if every LGBT person on earth was dead, he’d just find new minorities to go after.
