Y'know I get this is supposed to be against "rainbow capitalism", but with them also promoting the whole "traditional family values" bullshit it's certainly not a good look.
Reactionaries worldwide all understand the value of a scapegoat. Russia's bourgeoisie benefit from the populace blaming LGBTQ people for their problems just as much as the ones in the west do.
Cheap political points at the expense of vulnerable minorities, perhaps to create a possibility of accusing them of the ills of capitalism later, once the contradictions start biting down the road.

It's not even like we can depend on the KPRF to correct this mistake either.
Shame that misunderstandings about the human body leads to these things.
