And there you have it. The eliminationist intent. What the gaslighting Tankie bastards told me I was imagining.
If our existence becomes de facto illegal, then there is absolutely no incentive for us to obey any law. Republicans and Tories should pay attention before it is too late.
May the fire that burns inside us burn those who intend to harm us.
There was about a decade when there were no queerphobic laws in Russia, but then Stalin noticed.

Expect laws like this to start showing up in the US and UK soon. Western conservatives will do whatever Papa Putin tells them to do.

If there’s any organised and co-ordinated international movement regarding LGBTQ+ rights, it exists amongst authoritarian and theocratic regimes intent on eliminating them. The Putin kleptocracy is a leader in that regard.

There’s enough homophobic bile among UK “conservatives” without them having to pay any attention to Putin. I’d like to think there’s not much they can do, as the current government’s days are numbered and they seem to be pathetically ineffective to boot, but the lights are going out all over Europe…
