Today, May 17, we celebrate IDAHOBIT - World Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. In 2025, its theme is “the power of community,” and this is especially important for queer communities in Russia, where queerphobia has become official government policy. “Guys+” asked activists, including those remaining in Russia, what we as a community can do against hatred today.

The community in Russia continues to live, continues to love and continues to fight for the right to be itself The human rights organization All Out, in partnership with the LGBTQ+ group Coming Out and the Association of Russian LGBTQ Organizations * ( the name of the organization has been changed for security reasons - editor's note ) launched the “Love and Fear in Russia” campaign. It is dedicated to the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
