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.

    Imagine the constant thinking about gay and transsexual specific activies that’s leads somebody to the point of voting to make them illegal.

    Regular people don’t constantly think about it, so they don’t actually care one way or the other.

    No wonder that it’s extremelly common to discover that the very people who keep raging about homosexuallity were closet homosexuals.

    Grow up, embrace whatever you trully are and move on: no need to punish others for your own sexual self-repressions.
