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.
Since most gay people don’t reproduce, they’d have to import a lot of people constantly to be a functional society, but I bet their military uniforms would be fabulous and their showers would be hot.
It could be a place that consistently welcomes immigration, since it has to. Sounds like a win, win. It’s like a Krakoa for the gays.
