Russia's Supreme Court on Thursday effectively outlawed LGBTQ+ activism, the most drastic step against advocates of gay, lesbian and transgender rights in the increasingly conservative country. The court sided with the Justice Ministry, which filed a lawsuit this month demanding an LGBTQ+ “movement” in Russia to be labeled extremist. Rights activists argue the move opens the way for a broad crackdown on any individuals or groups deemed to be part of this movement. (Photo by Alexander Zemlianichenko/AP Photo)
