A court in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has jailed a woman for wearing rainbow earrings, the human rights group Egida reported late Wednesday, marking the second case of its kind after Russia banned the so-called “LGBT movement” as an “extremist” organization in November. According to Egida, law enforcement agents tasked with combating “extremism” detained the woman after a group of “aggressive people” approached her and her friend at a local cafe and filmed them on camera.
Well yes, but you realize it’s not a LGBTQ thing? These are regular suffixes that everybody uses in their speech. I suppose you could make an argument that they are used more extensively by socially liberal people, but its rly not something that’s indicative of political beliefs or affiliation. It is flat out ridiculous.
Yeah obviously, but the point of displaying them next to our name or bio is obviously a pro LGBT thing, and a feminist visibility thing (another thing they scare monger over)
