Living Gay In Russia (continued)
Grisha & Zhenya
"A lot of people consider it chic to be gay now," says Grisha (right), who shares an apartment with his lover of two years, Zhenya (left). "There is still a considerable amount of intolerance, but it's possible to be more open now that it was in the past."


For many gays in Novosibirsk, the new feeling of openness, however limited, has allowed them to come out to co-workers, fellow students, straight friends, and family.

 

 

 

 

In the MirrorIn Grisha's case, his colleagues at the pharmaceuticals company where he works do not know he is gay, but "it's not that I'm afraid of their reactions," he says. "It's because it is none of their business who I live with and what kind of life I lead."

The Washington Post: Surprising Russian reaction to gay marriage in the U.S.
Since 2013, Russia has had a law on the books banning the spread of gay "propaganda" as a means of "protecting children from information advocating for a denial of traditional family values." In the two years since, little progress has been made toward creating a more inclusive, safe space for gays
