>>5104658>In Russia it is legal to be openly gayThough for your safety, it is not advisable to do so. Or rather, strongly advisable to never ever do so.
>There are many gay organisations and businesses which exist openly.Some do get pressured by the government. And others by anti-gay activists.
But yes, things like bars, clubs and dating sites exist.
>It is also legal to be transgendered, transpeople are legally recognised as their transitioned gender and able to marry as their new gender and adopt children.It is, but you will be labeled insane (like, say, a schizophrenic would). People with history of serious mental illness can't drive or get a gun and have some other restrictions.
Also, even if you pass 100%, get a top quality surgery, and manage to marry a straight dude, if he ever discovers that you once were a man, he'll fucking kill you in the most painful way imaginable.
>The real problem is that LGBT people are not a protected class in Russia.The question here isn't even about what's legal or not, but what is enforced or not.
It's generally illegal to beat people up, but if the victim is gay, police will most likely ignore the incident (if not helping the perpetrators to beat him some more).
>On the other hand it is against regulations to fire someone from a government job for being gay or transI'm not sure if there's such law. Really doubt it.
And they can always make your life unbearable so that you resign on your own will.
>LGBT people can serve openly in the Russian MilitaryThis proves you know absolutely nothing about Russia whatsoever.
We have compulsory military service. Meaning, there is no "can", there is "must".
And the service itself is pretty much like prison, so it's hell on earth for gay people (or anyone else who's different, weird or weak).
If you don't manage to evade the draft, you are going to commit suicide from all the bullying and torture.
