Anti-riot police raided an activist meeting near St. Petersburg that state television claimed was an LGBT party against the special military operation in Ukraine, the independent news website Mediazona reported Thursday.

The broadcasters Ren-TV and 78.ru published identical reports of the Feb. 18 raid showing masked agents lining up several attendees and asking them about their affiliations with the so-called LGBT movement.

Russias Supreme Court banned the international LGBT movement, a group that does not formally exist, in November. The move sparked fears that authorities could use the vague designation to carry out sweeping persecutions of LGBTQ+ people.

[Police] found items with LGBT symbols banned in Russia, suspicious documents and handwritten opposition materials, a TV reporter said.

Mediazona said one of the opposition materials was a sheet of paper with questions about a persons worries and hopes for the future. The answers written on the paper were reportedly related to the invasion of Ukraine and the persecution of activists.

Citing the private Telegram channel of one of the unidentified attendees, Mediazona said the party was in fact a support group meeting that included young transgender people.

The participant said police officers held them and about 10 other attendees face-down on the floor for four hours, pulled their hair and kicked them while subjecting them to verbal abuse.

Mediazona noted that both Ren TV and 78.ru are owned by the major private media holding National Media Group.

National Media Group is owned by Russian billionaire Yury Kovalchuk, a sanctioned banker close to President Vladimir Putin.

Make no mistake, this is what Tucker Carlson and his supporters are defending.

The GOP are already following Russia's blueprint on how to treat the LGBT community and the very worst of what they do to LGBT people is what the GOP also wants to do... for starters.

Republicans and Dems used to be on basically the same page regarding Putin, with republicans actually being a smidge more critical and distrusting of him. It was his aggressive homophobia that got them to change their tune before their orange cult leader even commanded them to. They're truly despicable excuses for human beings.

This "international LGBT movement" must be an ally of the so called "Ukrainian Nazis" and Antifa.

But yeah, this is literally what many in the GOP want.

Yeah, my mom told me, when she was saying I am not allowed to be trans, that people are recruiting children into LGBTQ groups for some purpose.

The irony of this being that they're also the type of people to share pictures of shirtless Putin riding a horse and commenting how manly he looks.
