A survey of LGBT people in Russia found that almost half faced violence or the threat of violence during 2024, up 4 percent from the year before, that many feel compelled to hide their natures and suffering economically because of them, and that some want to emigrate.
Putin’s ban on what it calls “LGBT propaganda” and its attacks on the non-existent “LGBT international movement” have powered this increase in attacks on gays with many Russians concluding on the basis of these moves that attacking gays is something the government supports.
Putin also submitted an amendment to Russia’s constitution to enshrine marriage as between a man and a woman in a conservative update to the country’s founding document.
The survey by the Coming Out Rights Group and the Sphere Foundation is available here.
Shame on you Putin!!!
