Russia bans LGBTQ+ rights group as extremist
Los Angeles Times
|March 06, 2026
A court in Russia on Tuesday designated a prominent LGBTQ+ rights group as an extremist organization, the latest blow to the country's beleaguered community that has faced an intensified crackdown in recent years under President Vladimir Putin.
In a hearing that took place behind closed doors, the St. Petersburg City Court banned the Coming Out group as "extremist." The authorities did not reveal any details of the lawsuit filed last month by Russia’s Justice Ministry and classified as secret.
The group, which now operates from abroad, said it will continue to help LGBTQ+ people in Russia and beyond and fight for their rights despite the ruling.
"We have been preparing for this development for a long time. We enhanced security, developed sustainable work formats and continue to act responsibly, first and foremost for those who count on us," Coming Out said in an online statement.
"Today it is especially important not to give into fear and not to be alone. Our community is stronger than any labels, and history has proven that."
