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.
The raids follow a decision by Russia’s Supreme Court to label the country’s LGBTQ+ “movement” as an extremist organization.
The ruling, which was made in response to a lawsuit filed by the Justice Ministry, is the latest step in a decade long crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights under President Vladimir Putin, who has emphasized “traditional family values” during his 24 years in power.

Now Biden must declare war on Russia!
He just might.
I wonder how gay the patrons of the bar were after their arrests?
A country of white Christian Homophobes who don’t support LGBTQI propagandizing, grooming, and mutilating children? What?!
“A country of white Christian Homophobes”
People misunderstand Russia. Hardly any Russians are Christians. They align with us not because of any shared morality.
In a totalitarian society any deviation from the norm is a problem. That is why they attack both gays and non-state churches. China has the exact same anti-gay laws for the same reason as Russia.
They understand that if the family is subverted the entire society will ultimately crumble.
That issue is beyond politics.
Russia chose life. America chose the author of lies.
Hardly any Russians are Christians?
<< A poll conducted in April (2022) by the independent Levada Center found that 71 percent of the population identified as Orthodox Christian and 5 percent as Muslim, while 15 percent reported having no religious faith. >>
Apparently he has the ability to “blow up the world”
Even Joe Stalin understood that.
He already has but uses Ukraine name
They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.
Indeed it’s living proof why the democrats protect it so much it’s agenda promoter.
President Vladimir Putin, who has emphasized “traditional family values” during his 24 years in power.
I suspect Putin finds the behavior disgusting, as do I.
History has shown that faggots attract faggots. And like muslims, when they get too much power.............
Yes, it might partly be a power issue but also other factors are a part of it. It would appear, Putin is long term steady on the family issue.
Move to Russia then

The Russians belong to the government church as a state/ceremonial function, but they don’t attend it as Christians or believers.
“About half of Ukrainians attend church services, which has hardly changed since 2000. In general, 15.6 per cent of Ukrainians go to church once a week or more often, another 18 per cent once a month and 34.6 per cent only on major holidays.”
“In Russia the Orthodox celebrations of last Christmas, according to police assessments, were attended by 1 million 400 thousand people, equal to 1% of the population. It is a clearly lower figure than that of 5 or 10 years ago; however not everyone accepts it: some say the police didn’t count correctly; in any case, no type of calculation records a presence of the faithful higher than 3%, and in one of the major holidays.”
Faggots create faggots.
Round up the disease-ridden, boy-raping heterophobes.
Orthodox Christians are not real Christians. Only reformed, Evangelical, Calvinist, born-again Christians are true Christians, did you not know?
