I came out to my Mum – if you can call it that – about a year ago. Otherwise, shut up and suffer, or struggle and suffer. It’s just the way the cookie crumbles in Russia. And sometimes, I’m horrified to notice that I’m already okay with it. My friends around me date each other in all possible combinations, while I get used to living with the idea that that life is just not for me. is penetrated in my life so deeply that I don’t even feel it. I’ve never lived anywhere other than Russia, so I don’t know if there’s a place on earth where people live differently. I want to live my life I want to have my own family I want to love and be loved and not feel scared all the time. I don’t feel safe, being openly gay in Russia. I don’t want to hear all this homophobic bullshit. I don’t feel like I can hold hands with my partner or kiss him in public. Now I live my life openly and even though it’s dangerous to do so in Russia, I’m so glad I don’t have to hide. My father said I was under the influence of gay propaganda and my cousin said I wasn’t normal.Ībout a year ago, I decided I wanted to live my life openly, because I want to be happy and it’s impossible to be happy when you hide your sexuality. I started coming out at 22, and I was lucky to keep most of my friends. Being gay in Russia feels like you’re a second-class citizen. I know sexuality isn’t a phase, but I was really scared to talk to anyone about my sexuality. I realised I liked boys when I was 12 or 13, but I tried to ‘make’ myself straight until I was 22. * Some names have been changed at the request of the interviewees. Heartbreaking disturbing occasionally uplifting – this is what it’s like to grow up gay in Russia today. Within a few hours of posting a Facebook message on Russian LGBT pages asking for people to tell us about their experiences, we were overwhelmed with emails from young people from all over the country wanting to share their stories. When we reached out to LGBT teenagers and young adults to ask them if they’d like to be interviewed for this piece, we weren’t prepared for the response we received. Russia is a strange, beautiful, historically rich country that also has a legacy of strongly held anti-gay attitudes, reinforced by the Orthodox Church and by society more generally. But, realistically, growing up gay in Russia has always been tough. Sure, a recent high-profile “LGBT propaganda law” passed by the Russian Parliament is an especially pernicious example of anti-gay hatred. In many countries it already is.It would be inaccurate to say that the plight for young LGBT people growing up in Russia today is the worst it’s even been. “It also reveals that it is just a matter of time before pedophilia will be promoted under the ‘LGBT’ banner in the U.S. “This is further proof that the homosexual movement is not about equality, but about the normalization of sexual perversion,” Barbwire guest blogger Caiden Cowger also wrote. While not all ‘gays’ are child abusers, pederasty has been a central aspect of the homosexual lifestyle since the days of the Greek bathhouse.”

The organized ‘LGBT’ lobby has long lusted for the abolition of all age of consent laws.

“The sexual anarchist agenda steamrolls ahead and children are in the cross-hairs. It is, however, where we are headed as a nation,” he wrote. “his is extremely disgusting and troubling. The kid might not see it as sexual, but that is not the point, and if you think this type of behavior and little boys in tight short shorts is ok then you have a serious problem…” a third opined.Ĭhristian commentator Matt Barber of also expressed concern over the video, stating that it is indicative of the continuing moral degradation of society. He has obviously been exposed to inappropriate behavior and it is up to his guardians to look after him properly.

“That kid didn’t just learn that from anywhere. Why would you get a prepubescent child to do acts like this? People already think we’re pedophiles,” a second stated. “As a transgender woman I find this disgusting. I also find Gay Star news method of defense equally disgusting,” one wrote. “I’m not a homophobe, but I find videos of prepubescent children dancing provocatively completely disgusting. Follow others, including some of Gay Star News’ readers, took issue with the footage.
