Russian activist meets with US global LGBTQ+, intersex rights envoy
==========
Aleksandr Voronov, an activist from the Russian LGBTQ+ advocacy group Coming Out, met with Jessica Stern, the special U.S. envoy for the promotion of LGBTQ+ and intersex rights abroad, at the State Department. Voronov updated Stern on the situation with LGBTQ+ rights in Russia, and Stern expressed support for LGBTQ+ individuals in Russia. The Russian Supreme Court has banned the 'international LGBT movement' and authorities in Orenburg have arrested a gay bar owner on charges of 'extremism.' Voronov, who now lives in Lithuania, stated that many LGBTQ+ organizations and activists have been forced to leave Russia but continue their work 'in exile.'
