Latest developments in Russia: denunciations lead to raids against LGBT persons

Here’s a report from news company Reuters relayed by the magazine “The Advocate” about the latest developments in Russia. Since the passing of a law against the propaganda of homosexuality the situation for LGBTIQ persons living in Russia has kept worsening. After increases in bullying of LGBTIQ teenagers in schools and in the street, fist fights between anti-gay proponents and gay-activists during rallies and pacifist demonstrations resulting in the arrests of many LGBTIQ activists, the firing of a TV anchor who announced publicly his homosexuality and the alleged kidnapping and torturing of a gay teen among many other events, the Russian state is promoting the denunciation of LGBTs by their neighbours. This resulted in the raid and ransacking of activist and lawyer Nikolai Alexeyev’s home by  Russian prosecutors. The report by “the Advocate” with a video report from Reuters here.
