Transvestites were not allowed to attend the event due to the LGBT propaganda law

In Yekaterinburg, transvestite artist Timur Kidrachev was not allowed to attend a wedding magazine event, referring to the law on LGBT+ propaganda.

Kidrachev came to the ceremony in the guise of drag queen Kira Bohemy, in which he performs on stage. The organizers rudely asked him to leave, saying that he “looks unpleasant”, director Egor Rasputin, who witnessed the incident, said. Rasputin said that the organizers were “overwhelmed by fear” and called on his colleagues not to be afraid.

Olesya Sukhorukova, the organizer of the ceremony, explained that Kydrachev was not allowed to the event because of the law on LGBT propaganda. “Now, not a single prize will support this. There is a law, and the prize can be closed on the basis of this law, and the organizers will be fined,” she said, noting that Kydrachev did not coordinate his image with her.

• In Russia, since December 5, 2022, the dissemination of positive information about homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgenderism has been prohibited. Fines of up to 400,000 rubles for citizens and up to five million rubles for organizations are threatened for this.
• The LGBT+ community unites people based on their diverse sexual orientation and gender identity. In Russia, LGBT+ regularly become objects of aggression, which is actually incited by the authorities.
