Growing Up Queer in Russia

Growing up as a queer person of color in Russia. A thread about what it's like, how it affected me as a person, how I changed throughout the years, my activism and experience. Выросший цветным пидором в России. Тема о том, на что это похоже, как это повлияло на меня как на человека, как я изменился с годами, моей активности и опыте.

A screenshot of a translated social-media post displays a serious thread introduction about growing up as a queer person of color in Russia, above a collage of glamorous and androgynous-looking people. The joke comes from the contrast between the earnest activist framing and the dramatic fashion-editorial images, making it a reaction to an exaggerated personal backstory or performative identity post.
