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.

    That’s because they’re all 12 years old and have no brain. When you talk to them it’s quite clear they don’t actually know what they’re talking about. My favourite thing to do is quote events and dates at them of things that that didn’t happen, and most of the time they don’t pick up on it.

        An obvious sign of an intellectual superior individual. I don’t think.

          i haven’t seen anything bad on this instance, and it doesn’t constantly defederate from random instances (unlike instances such as lemmy.world, a while back it tried to block lemmy.dbzer0.com)
