Russia's government reportedly plans to create an extensive electronic database for LGBTQ+ individuals, classified as part of an 'international LGBT movement' deemed 'extremist' by authorities. This initiative follows a series of harsh crackdowns on LGBTQ+ people under a recent anti-propaganda law, resulting in arrests and severe penalties. Sources from the Interior Ministry indicate that the system aims to monitor and record LGBTQ+ individuals, further heightening fears about discrimination and vulnerability. Corroboration from a member of the ruling party emphasizes the seriousness of these reports. The establishment of such a database highlights ongoing human rights concerns in Russia.
According to sources, it will be a "large-scale" system to register and track LGBTQ+ people who are defined as members of the "international LGBT movement"...
