Russia has punished seven people with fines for wearing clothes that were considered “too gay” at a nightclub. This shows how the country continues to suppress LGBTQ+ expression.
The fines have sparked debates about freedom of expression and LGBTQ+ rights in Russia, with critics saying these actions encourage intolerance. This event is part of a larger trend of discrimination, including the controversial “gay propaganda” law passed in 2013.
While LGBTQ+ rights are improving in many parts of the world, this situation highlights the struggles faced by people trying to express their identity in restrictive places like Russia.
