Russia Lgbtq Rights

Russia on Monday arrested a medic for "Satanism" and "promoting same-sex relationships", as Moscow intensifies a legal crackdown on LGBTQ rights, in defence of what it calls "traditional family values".

A transgender politician from Russia said on Thursday that he had reverted to his gender assigned at birth, in an unusual message amid a crackdown on LGBTQ rights in the country.

A Russian court on Wednesday ordered a bar administrator and its art director to be placed in custody, accusing them of organising an "extremist organisation" under new legislation criminalising the LGBTQ community.

A small number of countries have made it easier for transgender people to change their legal gender, while other nations have restricted such changes, notably Russia and Pakistan

Russian lawmakers Monday called for the toughening of a strict anti-gay law and the Kremlin ordered expensive patriotic education projects as Moscow presses with a conservative drive at home while its troops fight in Ukraine.
