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.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: one can usually tell who the good guys are by how they treat LGBT people.
FTFY
LGBT people are a convenient metric because they are a minority that exists everywhere in every society. It's how they treat a subset of their own. There's a lot more factors regarding how societies treat outside groups, if and how they encounter them.
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.
Well, you are right that not every lgbt person treats lgbt persons right, which is crazy
