Define "forced to hide." Because I am still under pressure to hide it, even more so than the past. I wouldn't say "forced" because no one is holding me at gunpoint, but it's basically "Stay secret, or become a walking joke, lose all your dignity and have people harass and make fun of you for the rest of your life."

I also do not believe that "media representation" or "recognition by law" is progress. I think that is regressive. I think the gay stereotypes and "representation" on TV are doing harm and this is the exact kind of thing that makes people like me stay secret, I'm not hiding because of "homophobic Christians" I am hiding because I don't want people to think I am like Funny Inappropriate Famous Gay Man and that I have to "perform" for people, and that my sexuality (which has caused me a lot of pain) is a hilarious joke about buttfucking and being "FABULOUS."

As for the law I think LGBT+ "protections" are harmful. if discrimination is a problem why is there not a catch-all discrimination law that covers everyone? People just abuse and exploit these laws for their own benefit and to elevate their privileged self, like how Jonathan Yaniv tried to sue for "transphobia" and the Canadian law actually entertained that ridiculous idea.

Yes.

No there are no "gay killings," this is an urban myth from a shady organization with zero hard evidence.

No I do not currently live there.

No my sexuality would not be a concern should I move back there, I'm far more concerned about other issues.

No I don't hate homosexuals and think they are abominations against God simply because I'm Russian.

No I did not "internalize homophobic beliefs from being born in Russia", considering I didn't learn what being gay even was until several years after I left the country.

I hope that covers everything regarding my nationality being relevant.

I know there are no gay killings, except in the muslim part. Russia got a problem with fanatical muslims and christians.

The population is super homophobic and homosexuality if often linked to pedophilia. There is an-anti propaganda law , which means inability to openly talk about it in the media like we do in the west.

In the west we can be open about it, both in the media and day to day life. Actually, gay being represented in shows and such was a big part of it being accepted and people getting used to see it as something similar to heterosexuality. Ergo why in Russia they don't want to talk about it. I know, they hate USA, and since USA accept homosexuality, they must to do the opposite. But, moral of story,even if keeping it to yourself is better even in the west, the fact that here we can openly talk about our relations like everyone else without bad consequences is better than most of the world where hiding is the only option because society hates this part of you.
