I seriously don't get the hatred for people for literally no reason...like it just makes zero sense other then to stirrup shit and try to make certain people angry so you can kill the ones who might not agree with ever bullshit weird think they make up
Is this just a comply or die scenario they always do?
Dictators/capitalists need fresh bodies for their rule. If you aint procreating, youre an enemy.
That's exactly why this is one of the groups that is chosen for scapegoating. It's small, "other", vulnerable, and harmless.
Some people truly believe any deviant behavior is dangerous, specially to children. So they try to convince others if that danger, in an effort to rally troops and support for change.
Also, sexual fredom for gays, might encourage their women to want sexual fredome as well, and that's bad!
This hatred has been carefully cultivated for decades of casual homophobia, transphobia and other assorted bigotry. I was dumb like that in my teenage years, too - and there was a lot more cultural (if you can call it that) osmosis with russia, back then. It took me realising my own bisexuality to get away from that hatred.
For your average russian, this is just normal. They don't really see anything wrong with that, because they don't know any alternatives.
No, it sounds like you do get it.
In Russia, grindr grinds you! What a country.
Wondering how the .ml folks will try to spin this, as they usually pretend to be pro-LGBT.

"In 2014, Galina Timchenko was fired from her job as chief editor at Lenta.ru by oligarch Alexander Mamut, a supporter of Vladimir Putin, after she had interviewed Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh. She launched the new webpage Meduza on 25 October" -Wikipedia
So a banderite sympathiser is making unbacked accusations about Russia? That's not news.
