Spoiler: very very bad...

Please make sure to share, this is the best you can do to help us right now

I'd like to add some context at first:

In 2013 there was signed a "gay propaganda" law in which The Russian government's stated purpose for the law is to "protect *children* from being exposed to homosexuality"
Amongst the war crimes our country is parctipating in there are new comedically bad and authoritorian laws being signed to silence basically everyone who has common sense

However, I dare to say, queer and especially POC are affected by these the most
In 5th December 2022 "gay propaganda" law's extension is called "on the prohibition of propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations or preferences, pedophilia (lol) and gender reassignment"

It states that now also adults, not just children can be exposed to ✨ the gays ✨
Under this law literally every queer person can be charged even by just openly being themselves

Despite this we still have very advanced queer activism organisations and the one this thread's about is Center T that currently needs awareness and external help
Center T is one of the organizations that specifically:
- helps trans people by having contacts with clinics that help with transition and therapy
- provides spaces for trans people to connect with each other
- helps with donations for people in need

This organization is like, very vital for trans Russia residents

Thanks to them my friend is going through transition and had succesful top surgery and I have contacts with people in city I live in

So we really hope that people outside of the country will help them

❗️🏳️‍⚧️ Right now, the head of Center T - Yan Dvorkin is charged by the "LGBT+ propaganda" law

Court has done formal violations and refused to hear witnesses and experts from the defense. They literally give no fucking shit

Currently Yan will be will be awarded a fine of 100,000 ₽ (1298 USD) and this is the minimum fine for individuals. The case is still going on and I'm afraid that it's not the end

Please consider to help simply by sharing info as much as possible
