Russian security forces have raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

      Translation: I don’t like what he says but I have no actual arguments so I’ll just ad hominem. That’ll show him.

      Thank you for, in your own peculiar way, confirming my conclusions though.

        Or, I have lots of actual arguments but recognize that I’m not your dad or your professor, and that I actually just think you’re stupid and not worth the time it would take to explain it to you.

          I recognize this form of argumentation from middle school. As you are presumably an adult instead of a child, perhaps you should try to improve your argumentation skills quite a lot before continuing these “actual arguments” you claim to have.
