it’s possible that gay men were arrested (Kadyrov seems to be a bigoted scumbag), but you should be skeptical unless there’s something more than a few self-proclaimed witnesses, especially when they’re anonymous, e.g. in the source cited by Wikifedia for the first paragraph
I have a healthy dose of skepticism, I promise! I shared this to show what narratives were making the rounds. With how it’s talked about it reminded me of the “Uyghur concentration camps” in China, if that makes sense. I have a very hard time articulating myself.
Remember that the Chechens were portrayed by west as the good guys when they opposed Russia, and back then they were led by absolute scumbags compared to which Kadyrov is an angel, and even things like terrorist act in Beslan or Dubrovka theatre (imagine what would USA do if something like that happened there!) didn’t shaken that.
In Poland mainstream media emanated visible schadenfreude and more open fash were saying the terrorist are cool guys, or would be if only they werent “ciapaci” (polish slur for brown people, usually used for muslims).
