#russian lgbtq

[gorkaya-trava]

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.

today, the supreme court of russia declared the non-existent "international lgbt movement" extremist. today, the supreme court of russia declared all russian queers to be extremists. they declared love and freedom illegal, extremist, and criminally punishable. some time before that, "gay propaganda" was banned in russia. this concept includes even the simplest manifestations of love. we cannot talk about ourselves, we cannot save ourselves, we cannot love, feel loved and protected in our country. if we fight for ourselves, we will go to jail. we were forbidden not only to love — they banned us. ordinary people who simply do not fit into their concept of "traditional" and "correct". so please

talk about us. hear us out. help us if you can.

Current Status Update + a bit of venting

Hello, fellow furries, femboys, bottoms and everyone else. I am still in the process of renovating my room and rehabilitation from anorexia. Walls are 66% done and I am simultaneously working on setting up LED lighting - for both decorative and functional purposes.

As for the health I am currently having issues with bloated belly so I am too uncomfortable femboying and posting selfies. However I'll share this pic from long ago 🥺

I really did look unhealthy in retrospect haha.....

As for the social networks I will soon try to filter them put and try to update them so content is universal everywhere.

As for the venting...

As you can tell from my bio I am from Russia. LGBTQ is essentially illegal and its members are recognised as extremists, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, toxic masculinity and femininity are a common thing here. Inability for an average person to be themselves drives into despair and cynical approach to life.

I will be honest, I have always been not very social person, could even say that I'm sociophobic. I occasionally try to engage into some groups where I could find those who can relate to me. And one attempt after another brings only failure. I have recently tried to join a group chat of femboys in my country and I have been... Overwhelmed and bullied. I had to be as cynical, eccentric, sexually driven and freaky as everyone else. And I have been scolded for the fact I have been buying my clothing from mainstream mass consumption brand. I have ran away immediately...

I feel like such claiming and inner homophobia is unacceptable and is killing LBGTQ community from the inside - the point is to be yourselves and not please others (like don't do HRT just for entertainment or to become an top 1% OnlyFans model - only on the base of actual medical condition), you are YOU! Don't tolerate assaults only because someone else gets guilty pleasure from that, stand your ground and seize the sky.

Thanks for reading all of this; love you, hug you, kiss you! 💋👀 :3

Fight for trans rights, update:

This is where we are; it’s not just the US. It’s everywhere. I’m writing about the wave of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric ushered in by fascism and Nazis ahead of WWII. I did not plan for that book to be this damn relevant to 2023. (And don’t forget, Russia just made LGBTQIA a ‘terrorist’ group, subject to all the persecution that implies.)

“Former prime minister Liz Truss is battling for relevancy again after vowing to introduce a law that will ban trans women from single-sex spaces and prevent under-18s from transitioning.

The short-lived former PM, who spent just 49 days in office, is reportedly set to bring a Private Member’s Bill that will ban under-18s from accessing hormone therapy and block the state from recognising their social transition.”

heart to heart #8

pride month is always both a very happy and a very difficult time for me.

you may or may not know this, but i’m russian. i was born and live in russia, english isn’t even my first language. you also may or may not know that russia is extremely homophobic and transphobic.

pride parades are illegal here. people get arrested for carrying rainbow flags. and everyone always says it will get better, but in fact it seems to be getting worse.

i am like, very queer. it's a huge part of my identity, and i wish more than anything i could go to pride events and celebrate with my fellow queer russians. but i don't get that. we don't get that. i'm lucky to at least have queer russian friends i can wish a happy pride and hang out with, but other than that, all my celebrating has to be online.

this blog, this tumblr community, it's all i have. it's my little window into pride. my partner, who's also very queer, lives in a different country. they can go to pride if they want. but i can't come with them.

it hurts. but then i see you all making art and spreading positivity, and it makes me feel so happy and warm! it makes me realize there are ways i can participate. i do have a voice.

so happy pride, my gray aces and other assorted queers. go out there and have fun in any way you're comfortable with. be safe. think of me.
