Gay and Lesbian Russians Are Tired of Hiding

Here’s something from the global front that’s allegedly happening in Russia now with LGBTQ people. Like many LGBTQ people around the world, those in Russia have had a difficult time with hate and discrimination. And it sounds as though they are sick of the oppression.

“We’re not hiding,” Androshina said. “We’re openly speaking about who we are now.”

Here’s more. They’re tired of being targeted and abused, too. I’ve been following what’s been happening there for a long time now and I don’t know how they do it. But then again, that’s why we had the Stonewall riots in this country over 50 years ago.

Homophobic Comments Trigger Stress and Health Problems

This is one of those articles that seems to be telling us that water is wet. Who wouldn’t get stressed out being called names and horrible things by other people? It just stands to reason that this study would prove that it can also cause physical health issues.

Here’s the rest. It’s still a good piece because it validates a lot of things we already know.
