How is anything that i've said a justification for any of this?

I clearly do not support Russias stance on this, the war has to end for it to change; you cannot just ignore the biggest infulence on there attitudes, the war from this equation.

edit: re: first question

Because ukraines disgusting wrongs created this reactionary wave against the people with nazi flags bombing people they are related too, eastern ukraine is 90% ethnic russian; Ukrainian media adpoted pink capitalism as a facade while they bombed them, they have weaponized it and you blame the targets of the weapon for responding in reaction to the images and percieved ideas of the people who kill them.

My answer is that the fastest route towards lgbt+ liberation in russia still needs to be the war ending firstly.
