Russia Adds LGBT Movement to Terrorist List
Banks are now obliged to freeze funds and suspend services to persons and groups associated with the group
Russia’s Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring) has expanded its designation of persons and organizations deemed to be involved in extremist activities or terrorism to include “the international LGBT social movement and its structural units.” The updated list can be found on the agency’s website.
The move follows a ruling by the country’s Supreme Court last November that upheld the Ministry of Justice’s recognition of the “international LGBT movement” as extremist. Judges also recognized its structural divisions as fitting the same description and banned them; a move that representatives of the homosexual community said they feared would lead to a clampdown.
Just last week, a court ordered the arrest of an administrator and the art director of a homosexual bar in the city of Orenburg, after they were charged with violating a ban on LGBT propaganda.
According to the law, banks are required to freeze the funds of persons included on the list and suspend services to them.
Rosfinmonitoring's list includes more than 14,000 people and entities designated as extremists and terrorists. They range from Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban, to Ukraine's Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.
According to Interfax sources, the law “does not affect the right of citizens to privacy and will not entail any negative legal consequences.” The restrictions are related to the need to comply with the ban on LGBT propaganda, advertising, generating interest, and involvement in the LGBT movement, the outlet said.
In 2022, Russia expanded an existing ban on LGBT propaganda to minors by outlawing it altogether. State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said at the time that the prohibition would shield “our children and the future of the country from the darkness spread by the US and European states.”
President Vladimir Putin clarified last month that the authorities do not have issues with what members of the community do in their personal lives, as long as they “don’t flaunt it” in public and do not involve children. He has previously spoken out against the promotion of “non-traditional sexual relations” as part of a drive to promote family values which began during his third presidential term in the early 2010s.

I would rather it not come to this. I had thought man capable of choosing a middle path that would accommodate individual preferences. Alas, the western nations have proven that middle path impossible, demanding deference and ritualized worship and adulation of LGBTQABCDEFG.
But if it is to be one or the other, LGBTQABCDEFG intolerance and mandatory indoctrination and glorification *or* denigration and intolerance of LGBTQABCDEFG indoctrination, I choose the latter.
The LGBTQABCDEFG movement has forced the time of choosing one or the other upon us. Under 'Highlander' rules where "there can only be one."
I choose the path of God and his truth over the path of man and his lies in a black and white world where grey isn't permitted. A clarifying moment for God to separate mankind of the sinners, those who will be left behind in Sodom and Gomorrah. God will not be insulted with "sometimes God makes a mistake putting little boys/girls in little girl's/boy's bodies" blasphemes of arrogant men.
Those of us choosing God daring not to look back, lest we be turned to stone, as well. Chart a course with God. Don't look back lamenting what could've been.
Based.
I wished that Christian leaders had preached about Leviticus 20:13 and the rest of the score of old and new Testament scriptures STRONGLY against sodomy, instead of beating young men over the head with the inequally yoked principle. (Which I still agree with, I just wonder how much preaching that to the exclusion of be fruitful and multiple reduced the Western Christian population and vote over the last fifty years - there is your moral majority right there!).
You can't get much stronger than Leviticus 20:13 unless you mandated a cruel form of execution! Unfortunately the Western church has gotten so weak that Islam starts to hold an attraction to many due to their hard stand against LGBTQ(MOUSE)!
