I think the real news here is that Russia had an LGBTQ+ museum at all.

It has always been dangerous, with target attacks and even murders, but there has always been a community in the more modern cities.

Oh yeah. There is always a community where ever there are people. But, I know how horrible the LGBTQ+ community has been treated there. So, it just amazes me that there was really anything allowed publicly that showed they exist.

Krasovsky,the dude who talked about drowning Ukrainian babies was one of the first gays to publicly come out in times when Russia was pretty conservative(in that regard anyway) even in the big cities,and obv in the media. Also, before talking about drowning Ukrainian children he talked about similar stuff about Ukrainians in general, which got no big reaction from his audience.

Moscow, and probably St.Petersburg (where this museum was) is not typical Russia. They have some money

I mean, Holocaust museums exist. They should always remember the things Russia has done to them.
