Summary
Russian authorities fined at least seven people in Tula for “looking too gay” during a nightclub raid in February, with charges based on “promoting non-traditional sexual relations” through their clothing.
This crackdown reflects Russia’s broader push to enforce “traditional values,” including tightening anti-LGBT laws and banning LGBT “propaganda” across all age groups.
Judges ruled that outfits like corsets, fishnet tights, and dyed hair violated the law.
In 2024, at least 71 people were fined under these laws, which critics view as escalating discrimination against the LGBT community.

Also really racist. It’s like the US in the 50s. Most people have only ever seen [pick your difference] people on tv.
It’s fucked up that Russia is doing shit like this. That said,
he was wearing a short top covering his chest, black leather shorts above the knee, on which there were several chain-shaped ornaments, and fishnet tights

I don’t know man. It feels like pigeonholing somebody’s sexual preferences based on the style of their clothing might not be accurate.
Take a look at this photo of Mötley Crue from back in the day, and those guys were renowned for their heterosexuality.
It’s paywalled, so I can only assume that this:

Only applies to men, because I’m guessing the authorities wouldn’t think she was too gay:
Well. She can be gay too.
But is she too gay?
No, needs at least 300% more gay.
