Pretty gross. Comments every bit as awful as you're thinking. Just a reminder of the abysmal state of non-cishet rights and acceptance in Russia.
Edit: can't get my screenshot to load properly so text:
T1: Putin on accusations against Russia in the energy crisis: "European countries are big specialists in non-traditional relationships and themselves abandoned traditional energy sources in favor of non-traditional ones"
T2: ("non-traditional relationships" is the legal term in Russia for all things "LGBT")
Yeah, it's a shitty capitalist oligarchy and Putin is awful and homophobic. That doesn't mean that when they do a thing which is anti-imperialist, you look at the action itself and say "oh actually this action is bad and imperialist because the country or person doing it is bad".

Definitely, I'm 100% on board with that, obviously. Fuck Putin and the Russian government for being awful to our LGBT comrades.
