Hello! I also was born in Russia, but moved to EU three years ago. There are still a lot of lgbt people there who are in trouble, unfortunately... How's the situation in the US now? Often hear alarming news from there, especially for trans people

тут хорошо в этом плане (в Финляндии). i also don't publically advertise that i'm non-binary but a lot of people on the streets don't hesitate to express themselves

I live in Helsinki, and the answer here is yes. Same in many big cities. But rural areas are mostly conservative
