Despite prejudice from much of society and authorities, Russia has an established LGBTQ+ scene, particularly in the two leading cities of Moscow and St Petersburg.
Homosexuality is not illegal in Russia. However, under the 2013 Propaganda Law, introduced by President Putin, it is illegal to promote 'non-traditional sexual relationships' in the presence of minors. In reality this means there are no legal LGBTQ+ pride events and speaking openly about LGBTQ+ rights can result in a fine, 15 days’ detainment and/or deportation.
It is generally safe for LGBTQ+ tourists to travel around Russia if you are prepared to stay in the closet and use common sense throughout your visit, especially in public.
