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.
LGBT people are a convenient metric because they are a minority that exists everywhere in every society. It's how they treat a subset of their own. There's a lot more factors regarding how societies treat outside groups, if and how they encounter them.
True, but for example im a gay man and according to the original description, I would be a good guy if I treated LGBT members right, but of course I treat them right because im part of them.
I see, I was thinking of nations and groups more than individuals when I made that comment. Not every LGBT person treats LGBT people well, Roy Cohn comes to mind.
This is why I cannot consider the so-called leftists who oppose taking action against a fascist like Putin to be actual leftists. Putin is a hard right dictator who violates every principle of human rights at every turn.
‘Leftists’ like N Korea, China, and Russia supports make me ashamed to be a leftist. This is what happens when all your leaders die 40 years ago, the movement gets silly.
Idk the leaderless portions can be silly but we feed people to feed people, we fix up bikes to fix up bikes, we send prisoners books and propaganda to help prisoners. We may not be perfect, and our terminally online portions are terminally online, but we’re out there helping the proletariat.
Don’t be ashamed to be a lefty. Shame THEM for dare calling themselves leftists while espousing polite words for autocrats and dictators. They are pathetic and a detriment to progress and they need to know it.
