It is the one thing that is so weird with Russia. Those weird moments of folding anti lgbt stuff into the superstructure conversation with the SMO just seemed like a vestigial waste of time.
Ive said it before. It’s probably better for a country to fold in their minority populations into a shared national project and give them common investment in it then to alienate them and give them reason to assist the enemy or consider subterfuge.
At the very least, it seems extremely weird that treating certain people as second class citizens in your country as part of one’s definition of victory or making the lgbt stuff even part of the conversation of war.
