The beat that I chose has decided to be reporting on the LGBTQ+ community in Russia.
Nonetheless the LGBTQ+ community has been supported by countries like Armenia and Belarus. Other countries have expressed their homophobia through different legislative laws. Organizations in New York have created support groups for those in the LGTBQ community in NYC that are asylum and refugees who are in need of mental health support, peer support groups, health and wellness programs and emergency cash.
One of the main goals for this coverage is to shed a more larger issue on the LGBTQ+ community now that Ukraine and Russia are at war while also many Russian’s not wanting to be apart of the war but also having to flee due to their rights in the LGBTQ+ community. The languages that are spoken in Russia are a variety of them while they also share a Russian Orthodox Christian religion.
