old man yells at product of cloud
they have the shape of a frog with an image of a 7-color rainbow
That's not even an LGBTQ+ symbol in any way. Apparently even nature is too woke now. Fucking bigots have lost their damn minds.
where were you when they made the frickin frogs gay
Sky jailed for displaying "extremist" rainbow. Sun and light drizzle under investigation.
I heard Putin likes long schlongs.
Imagine all the pain and suffering she caused to those poor straight alpha orcs…
Reactionaries are a ducking cancer of humanity.
to turn the pair into the police for wearing a Ukrainian flag pin and rainbow earrings.
Can't imagine she was surprised by the detention
Another fucked up part, she wasn't even the one wearing the flag.
In Nizhny Novgorod, a girl was arrested for 5 days for rainbow earrings - “ Aegis ”.
Presumably, the denunciations were written by supporters of Vladislav Pozdnyakov. A video with a girl in rainbow earrings and a young man with a badge with the flag of Ukraine attached to his jacket appeared on Pozdnyakov’s Telegram channel on January 29. In the video, its authors approached young people and demanded that they remove the “forbidden symbols.”
Afterwards, the girl was summoned for a conversation at the Center for Combating Extremism and, according to human rights activists, there, “despite the efforts of the defense lawyer,” she was detained and left overnight until the trial.
The next day, the Nizhny Novgorod resident was arrested for 5 days under the article on “public demonstration of prohibited symbols” (Part 1 of Article 20.3 of the Administrative Code).
I wonder how this might even work? If the Russians have been so good at oppressing LGBT symbols, then a rainbow is just a rainbow. It's pretty, why wouldn't you want jewellery that looks like a rainbow?
Imagine being so weak that you have to persecute this.
