    I found an RT article about this incident:

    https://www.rt.com/russia/608490-moscow-club-lgbt-raid/

    Avoid the comment section at all costs, someone literally said that the Pulse nightclub shooting was a false flag. The article itself is purely informational and I didn’t find a biased or homophobic tone in it. Although this last bit really frustrated me:

    President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly clarified that the authorities have no desire to interfere in people’s private lives, pledging that they will not crack down on representatives of the LGBTQ community for their personal choices. He noted, however, that “flaunting” them in public or involving children will be considered cause for prosecution.

    I don’t know the details about the propaganda law but its existence is horrible in general. This also makes no sense as the club seems very private, what “flaunting” is happening? Obviously these questions are silly as the law itself is discriminatory and makes no sense, so there will be no satisfactory answer. Maybe the law is written to be purposefully vague, the comments do not help either. People really love violence against queer people and it’s fucking terrifying and distressing.

      I know you’re joking, but being gay in many places in Russia is one of the worst things you can be. Like it’s to the degree that a decent number of people would treat an out and about Nazi better then a trans person.

      The closest thing I can liken it to would be a minority in the American Deep South. LGBT individuals are commonly relentlessly and horrifically discriminated against and hounded.

      Western propaganda has taken root, and the consequences are horrific.

        not joking at all at the gays at the near deep south (aka austin texas) have taught the straight people through their self loathing enough to target the gays with SIGNIFICANTLY more precision-ed weaponry that the russians would every hope to match; just ask how the plain clothes TABC officers get the gays to turn on each other in enforcement in texas. lol
