MOSCOW, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia’s Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that LGBT activists should be designated as extremists, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.

A Reuters reporter in court heard it announce that it had approved a request from the justice ministry to recognise what it called “the international LGBT social movement” as extremist and to ban its activities.

    True, but for example im a gay man and according to the original description, I would be a good guy if I treated LGBT members right, but of course I treat them right because im part of them.

      I see, I was thinking of nations and groups more than individuals when I made that comment. Not every LGBT person treats LGBT people well, Roy Cohn comes to mind.
