Russia is some two hundred years behind when it comes to freedom of speech. This isn't solely about gay rights, but also the fact that discussing the subject gets you thrown in jail.

Russia doesn't allow either of them.

Every cop I've met is absolute trash and the police have a history of abusing queer folk. Russians actively oppress queer folks and are oppressing us worse everyday

And there you go. Your personal experience of dealing with cops reflects the entire world.

Great job on setting an example.
