The Supreme Court of Russia declared the LGBT movement extremist and banned it

I think Russians have every right to protect their culture from foreign meddling and interference.

Right. Putin should put that Iron Curtain back up again. It will not only keep the spying eyes and influence of those evil global progressives out, but it'll also keep the Russian people in, thus keeping their minds pure and safe from contamination.

Your argument is outdated.
Everyone is going Nationalistic now.
Klaus Schwab can eat insects, among other things.
Globalism is dead.
You can look forward to Russia leading NATO and the East now

I remember this being the norm in the 60s, 70s and 80s in North America with not only gay bashing but gays being murdered. Are the Russian people really okay with what is going on? I think not.

Putin has been pushing Orthodox Christianity for years.

I believe he is as religious as Trump is -- if you can use it to control.

It would be interesting to know the statistics whether or not religion is on the decline in Russia as it seems to be around the world.

Just a quick search:

According to some Western observers, respect for freedom of religion by Russian authorities has declined since the late 1990s and early 2000s.[7][8] For example, the activities of the Jehovah's Witnesses are currently banned in Russia. According to International Christian Concern, during 2021 "crackdowns on religious freedom have intensified in Russia."[9]

The ban hammer is shiny new.

That doesn't surprise me.

It's like the push for Dominionism/Christian Nationalism in the US. Except it's coming from the ruler of Russia.

I remember news reports of Putin's "new found" interest in religion/Christianity.

Of course, it's about control.

How Russia Became the Leader of the Global Christian Right
While the U.S. passed gay-rights laws, Moscow moved hard the other way.

That's the point. Putin and the evangelical Christians are going backwards....Making Russia Great Again by manufacturing a cultural cold war. I remember when we were donating our church's money to illegally smuggling Bibles past the Iron Curtain, into Russia.

Everyone is going Nationalistic now.

Not everyone. Just your cultural extremists trying to impose Victorian morality on an Epicurean world.

Klaus Schwab can eat insects, among other things.

Oh honey, you've been eating crickets since, at least, the 70's...ever since they've been using them for pink coloring, like in your strawberry shakes from Dairy Queen and your Nestle's Strawberry Quick! Even Starbucks was outed for using crickets in their fruity drinks! LOL

Globalism is dead.

Globalism is the only reality that can lead humanity into the future. Indigen-osity is dead. It was murdered by Christian colonialism. From now on, we strive for one race, one human tribe.

I can look forward to seeing Putin's funeral.

The only thing I find Extremist about the LGBT movement is the obsession with Children .

Stop grooming children , Allow them their own choice.

So, you call out extremist LGBTQ+ (7.2% of US population)

But not the extremist RW (26%)-- who force anti-propaganda in the media.

That's how I read it. Perhaps you did mean both/all.

But anyway (I do keep trying to stay on topic).
The Supreme Court of Russia declared the LGBT movement extremist and banned it

Russia is raiding gay bars -- to protect the children, of course.

I didn't misread.

I just want to say.
I have to finally and totally agree with Anne.
I admit it.
I cannot deny it.
She is right.
I said it.
She is correct.
I am part of the Right Wing that..
Wait, I am an extremit RW that has been pushing, no I am forcing the call for more, way more anti-propoganda in the media, in the home and in the public sphere.

Down with anti-propoganda.
You caught us out Anne.
Hit the nail on the head you did

Alright whatever, long time lurker first time poster.

Russia is going to #, it's an absolute trash show that Putin's sending back to the Soviet Times.

LGBT as an extremist organisation LMAO, gulags for everyone. So glad my Russian father took us to the West after the Soviet Union fell.

Brainwashed Westerners supporting Putin as he locks down Russia, hilarious.

So many Russians on ATS, where are the Ukrainians? Being bombed, probably. But anything is better than Putin's new Stalinesque hellhole that Russia is becoming.

Anti -- using propaganda to spread anti LGBTQ+ messages.
