What timing.

I don’t believe in karma, but this would be exhibit A.

The Supreme Court declared the "LGBT movement" to be extremist on November 30th last year. Ruling went into power on January 10th. Now it just got added to a list. People have already been arrested because of it before this. It's not an actual movement, the whole thing is just an excuse for more repressions, of course.

what about the timing? edit: sorry didn't hear about the attack yet when I wrote this comment... still don't know how it relates to "LGBTY" though

There appears to be a terrorist attack going on in Moscow right now and it's not a rainbow flag attack.
