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.
My daughter is queer and if Trump wins, we will probably have to seek refuge in Canada. I have an uncle there, which will also help, but this is a good resource. Thanks.
Nothing happened to lgbt people when Trump was in office. It won’t happen if he gets voted back in. Like Trump or not, he’s never been anti-lgbt.
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.
Trump is anti anyone who doesn’t conform to his view of how people should be. This is especially problematic because he also doesn’t trust intelligence, and of course to Trump, if you can successfully open a crisp packet you’re considered dangerously intelligent.
Oh yeah. Totally an ally.

People said that last time trump won and literally nobody actually followed through
I was too poor for it to be a option personally, I’m still trying lol. Leaving a country isn’t exactly a easy, straightforward thing.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s an option for me to leave at all. But I can set up a “station” for people passing through on their way out.
Exactly my point. Canada is also stupid expensive compared to the US with no good jobs to pay for it.
Oh that’s your point?
Yeah nobody is moving here because it’s no better here. People who say they are moving to Canada have done zero research
Oh, okay. No reason to worry then.
Oh, so you checked up with every person who said they’d move and you personally know that they didn’t?
We had loads of Americans move to our part of Canada from Trumpistan. They even stayed after he was voted out. Some good people.
Lots of people have been moving across the border for residency. Canadian politicians have been complaining about it.
