Russian security forces have raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

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.

    Because you don’t live here and you are stupid. Not by IQ or disability, you intentionally choose to be stupid. And to carry the lie fed to you. It’s easy because you have nothing to lose. Grow up bitch, you can stop simulating a kremlinbot as you aren’t even paid for that. Wake up.

    Ukraine as a state is fucked up and corrupted - any ukrainian I know would say that. But they are healing and facing towards eurointegration. The other state shakes hands with Iran, North Korea, Talibs. It says enough.

    I’m sorry for being a bit rude. I’m just drunk and angry and tired of foreigners portraying my country as anything but a prison it is. Who’d even want to be born in it?
