  2. Coming soon to the #USA! (Though I wonder what #Trump will do with his openly #gay cronies and a Veep who likes to dress in drag? But just like with the #Nazis, I guess it's okay to be gay if you're part of the 'inner circle'?)

    #Putin’s #Russia: first arrests under new #AntiLGBT laws mark new era of #repression

    Published: April 8, 2024

    "Just over three decades after Russia #decriminalised #homosexuality in 1993, three people have been arrested and charged under the country’s harsh new anti-#LGBT laws and could face ten years in prison for membership of an '#ExtremistOrganisation'.

    "The arrests are a clear indication of how Russia has come full circle on its persecution of sexual minorities under Vladimir Putin.

    "On March 21, the district court of Orenburg city in south-western Russia ordered the arrest of nightclub owner #VyacheslavKhasanov. The nightclub, which is called #Pose, has never explicitly identified as a gay club – styling itself as a 'parody theatre bar', it hosted parties with #DragQueen artists and go-go dancers as entertainment.

    "In a press release announcing the arrest, the court said that as the owner of the club, Khasanov organised participation in an extremist organisation, 'acting as the leader of an organised group of persons by prior conspiracy'. The specific actions included organising the work of such premises, and publishing photos and videos from performances 'promoting non-traditional sexual relationships and preferences'. Khasanov was arrested at the airport when trying to flee the country.

    "His arrest followed the arrest and detention of two of his employees. The club’s art director, #AlexanderKlimov, and administrator #DianaKamelyanova were arrested and sentenced to two-months pre-trial detention for, the Orenburg court said, 'promoting #nontraditional sexual relations among the visitors of the bar.'"
