Yekaterinburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for LGBT expatriates? Why or why not?
No. Despite the fact that younger Russians are more open, the LGBT community is frequently targeted and subject to harassment by the Orthodox church and the government. I've heard that some LGBT activists have been assaulted and even killed, and even LGBT student allies have been scrutinized by university leaders. It is illegal to discuss or support LGBT issues among minors in Russia. - Feb 2020
I cannot comment as I have not come across that issue. I would assume no as Russians here are very strict to adhering to traditions and rules. We don't seem to see as much diversity here as we did in St Petersburg. - Aug 2018
Russian society generally frowns upon homosexuality, but there is a small GLB community. - Aug 2010
