MOSCOW, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia’s Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that LGBT activists should be designated as extremists, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.
A Reuters reporter in court heard it announce that it had approved a request from the justice ministry to recognise what it called “the international LGBT social movement” as extremist and to ban its activities.
That’s like a republican saying “we donated to a charity” while pushing for a bill that would restrict black peoples right to vote.
You can’t claim to be helping us while in the same breath actively working for our long term oppression.
