![]() Posted on Telegram today, a homophobic meme depicting the relationship between President Biden and President Zelensky. ![]() While Russia’s stance on the queer community is well known, seeing the hatred play out in real-time, seeded across the vast reach of the internet, has been shocking as to both its depth and reach. Now as the renewed Russian invasion of Ukraine has reached its 90th day, it is apparent that the Putin regime’s focus on humiliating the LGBTQ community inside Russia is being utilized as a part of their war efforts against the Ukrainian populace as well. This account, as its partially revealed name shows, is dedicated to pointing out, and mocking, anything LGBTQ in Ukraine. In 2021, Freedom House termed this approach “state-sponsored homophobia” and “politicized homophobia.” Yet, in spite of European courts ruling that their anti-LGBTQ laws were discriminatory and a plethora of protests having been held against them throughout the European Union, Russia ignored the international criticism of its horrific bigotry.
