Never Openly Display Your Sexuality

Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

Public displays of affection are not common in Russia, and overly sexualized acts of physical intimacy in the presence of others are frowned upon. This is doubly the case for same-sex couples because Russia is not the place for you to demonstrate your LGBTQ pride. You might protest and state that sixteen countries in Europe have already legalized and recognized same-sex unions as of early 2019. However, Russia is not among these nations that have accepted marriage or any form of civil union for same-sex couples. There is an anti-gay sentiment in Russia, and the public has a low level of tolerance for homosexuality. Russians are opposed to the promotion of homosexuality and have even implemented laws that restrict the distribution of propaganda materials that endorse homosexuality to minors. Russian courts deem these content responsible for the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations and the rejection of family values.
