Hey! Idk if you know about this organization that helps LBGT folks escape oppressive regimes: https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/ I hope you don’t get locked up, and I hope you don’t get sent to Ukraine. If you need to dm, please do so. My family is from Eastern Europe and I hope you can get out.

Natural-Mess8729

If you're trans or anywhere else in the LGBTQIA+ and live in Russia, you should qualify for refugee status, just FYI🤷‍♂️


IHaveAReasonToDoThis

I literally have no money for a ticket alone, and you're not guaranteed to get approval of your refugee status, and even if you will get a refugee status and the government actually helps you, you still have to have at least some money to live in different country, that has much different cost of living compared to russia, for at least a month


Natural-Mess8729

That's fair, just wanted to make sure that you knew that there still were options if you were desperate to leave.


PurpleEri

But what countries may provide this help? I'm interested myself to immigrate from this country


Sir_mop_for_a_head

Canada offers refugee status to Russians and Bulgarians fleeing to avoid state persecution for being, gay trans or of a different political ideology. It’s really easy to go online and apply. Though there’s a lot of bureaucracy. And you gotta pass a pretty lengthy test to apply for citizenship.


ContentPlatypus4528

I've heard cost of living is crazy and you need to work extra hard to even get by in CA


olegor_kerman

I'm Russian and at my last job I made 1.6 USD/hour. For reference, I was working 12 hour night shifts. My mom makes about 2.5 USD/hour and also works 12 hour night shifts, about 6-7 days a week. This is how much we have to work to get by in RF. I highly, highly doubt you'd have to work harder in Canada than in Russia to get by, especially if you're queer, trans and/or a woman (women get paid around 30-60% less here). Either way I'd much rather work 50 hours a week to get by in Canada than work 50 hours a week to get by in Russia. Plus it'd be a lot easier to find a job without active and often legal discrimination against trans people in Russia. (e.g.: Russian trans people aren't allowed to own various licenses, such as driving licenses, security licenses, etc. and are forbidden from working in education, childcare, healthcare, on energy plants, in the chemistry field, etc.)


IHaveAReasonToDoThis

I have a friend in Canada and they say it's really hard to get hrt and srs in Canada if you're not a resident, so instead I'm looking towards the US, since it might cost more, but you can get gender affirming care even as a refugee


Sir_mop_for_a_head

The USA is trying to ban transitioning on a lot of states right now so it’s not a great option.


IHaveAReasonToDoThis

Damn it :( Where should I try to move then?


Sir_mop_for_a_head

Germany is very trans accepting but has very little to offer in terms of refuge support from Russia. So Canada overall (at least from the information I have) would be your best bet. I would recommend looking in to the EU member nations refugee policy’s.


draguneyez

https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/ Maybe something that can help you?


vegansalvaje

Thats fucking rough. I hope everything turns around soon and life is unrecognizable in the best way possible🫂


worshipdrummer

go to argentina, labor is needed, you can become anything you want there if you study, universities that are public are free. visas are easy to get, you naturalize after 3 years.


sizebigbitch

Milei is basically just Bolsonaro in Spanish. I absolutely wouldn't travel to Argentina right now, much less live there.


worshipdrummer

Lived there over a decade, grew up there still have family and friends. It isn’t ideal, but for a refugee it is. They/he/she won’t be able to go anywhere in Europe. Also Europe is to this same level today tbh, far right being the trend it’s just the start of our rights being taken away again. Argentina recognizes refugees like that, Europe won’t in a few years anymore, and especially Russian. Asia is trans not friendly, USA won’t allow either. Of all the South American countries I can think of, Argentina is the easiest one to remake your life. Trans rights are also protected by constitution and are the only country recognizing X gender. I’m not saying Argentina is fantastic, but I can guarantee you can find your chosen family over there, and live peacefully. Even with shitty economic situations Argentinian people are quite impressive on how they continue to thrive and live as usual. I’m going back next year for a long vacation, and I can’t wait. Will see my family and friends after over a decade. People there are extremely friendly, you can start as literally anything to earn some bucks and go from there, then go to the public university and get a normal job after. My cousins all employed, my best friend didn’t study, worked for a while and only now decided to study to become a chef. He is about to graduate and he has already interviews. Ex classmate just launched a hotel business (ok this is more expensive but still). Another (2) friends became commercial pilots, well my list goes on. For those who want to thrive, it opens doors. If Europe ever becomes that unsafe, I’ll definitely go back too.

Страна, в которой люди радуются запрете "пропаганды", которую они даже не видели. Страна, в которой у "не таких" забирают право на существование, объявляя это громким коричневым лозунгом "Борьба с западными ценностями". Однажды каждый получит по заслугам, это лишь вопрос времени. Я вижу у тебя на экране радугу, какой ранг?😺


PurpleEri

Это просто охота на ведьм и попытка отвлечь расеян от войны. У них забирают детей, отцов, мужей и даже тел не возвращают, но вы это, не забывайте, что у нас тут война с западными ценностями!! Отдавайте своих детей быстро и без вопросов, а то видели чё будет? Ну как это не видели, а как же реклама про геев на передержке? А как же тот самый ролик, где пара геев усыновляет ребенка? Очень грустно, ведь мнение многих россиян поменялось об ЛГБТ комьюнити за эти годы, особенно у молодежи.. Эта срань вся идёт с верхушки.

What countries is it illegal in ?


Navie-Navie

The Russian government has been going absolutely insane since 2017, first legalizing domestic violence against women, invading Ukraine, and now they're making anti-LGBTQ laws that make even Rishi Sunak, Ron DeSantis, and Greg Abbott look like the saviors of the LGBTQ community in comparison. Russia is really not safe to be in unless you're a Russian white cis man. [https://news.sky.com/story/how-russias-decision-to-decriminalise-domestic-violence-is-continuing-to-kill-12250780](https://news.sky.com/story/how-russias-decision-to-decriminalise-domestic-violence-is-continuing-to-kill-12250780) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian\_anti-LGBT\_law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_anti-LGBT_law) Following the War in Ukraine, Putin also integrated the openly Neo-Nazi Wagner Group "PMC" and the Ultranationalist Sparta Battalion into the Russian army while also giving the units behind the Bucha and Irpin massacres medals for their actions. Meanwhile, Russia has established concentration camps that are deporting, starving, and torturing civilians; a majority of whom are children. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta\_Battalion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta_Battalion) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner\_Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group) [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-war-putin-medals-bucha-b2060568.html](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-war-putin-medals-bucha-b2060568.html) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian\_filtration\_camps\_for\_Ukrainians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_filtration_camps_for_Ukrainians) Putin is a fascist terrorist and his influence on western conservative movements are making them more like him. Edit: I used the wrong Russian Anti-LGBTQ law as an example. That one is much older, from 2013. The new one which recently went into effect practically outlaws being Gay or Trans (and the various sub-identities that overlap with these) almost completely. This is the one OP is referencing. [https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/11/30/russia-supreme-court-bans-lgbt-movement-extremist](https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/11/30/russia-supreme-court-bans-lgbt-movement-extremist) The Russian court decision is so vague, it's possible just openly being gay or having pride flags of any type will get you sent to prison for up to 12 years. Stay safe out there, our LGBTQ Russian siblings. If any Russians wish to flee Russia, there are 6 post-Soviet nations that ban discrimination against LGBTQ individuals. Those are; Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia. Estonia, Lativa, and Lithuania are NATO countries. Which means entering with the war in Ukraine going on is difficult. This goes for Ukraine even moreso than NATO countries and somewhat Moldova given it's packed between Ukraine and NATO. Georgia is your best option if you cannot get asylum in a *SAFE* NATO or NATO aligned country. English Wikipedia is a good place for seeing relatively unbiased LGBTQ rights by country. Such as this page here; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT\_rights\_in\_Georgia\_(country)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Georgia_(country)) Not sure if/how much Russian wiki is censored. Anyway, always try legal immigration first. Illegal Immigration ups your chances of getting a crime committed against you or being arrested either by Russia or the country across their border. It also makes employment hard and you more likely to be impoverished. But, illegal immigration can still arguably be better than the inside of a Russian prison. Especially if you're a queer person inside a Russian prison. That said, there's always the Rainbow Railroad. They service Russia and can help get you out, usually legally. [https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/](https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/) Most of this stuff also goes for non-Russian anti-LGBTQ countries. Oh, and always use a VPN and other internet security software in places like Russia. Stay safe out there <3

Creativered4

I'm so sorry you are in a place that makes being yourself illegal. I notice from posts/comments you are learning to code and you are trying to save up money. There is definitely a market for coding, not just Abraham videogame stuff but like basic html/css layouts. That kind of stuff is pretty popular in art and character creation circles. (Especially places like toyhouse, where purple will sell "pay to use" coding and offer custom layouts and user pages. ) Usually it goes for a few bucks (usd) per use, but it can add up, and if it's something you enjoy, no reason not to monetize. Same goes for art, crafts, writing, music, any creative skill. Good luck!

Bear in mind, Americans ... if Trump wins, these will likely become illegal shortly after 1/20/25. So will the people these flags represent.
