The gayborhood stands with Ukraine
The United States, its allies and partners this week imposed “severe and immediate economic costs” on Russia in response to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.
These actions, according to a fact sheet issued by the White House, “include sweeping financial sanctions and stringent export controls that will have a profound impact on Russia’s economy, financial; system and access to cutting-edge technology.” The cyber hacker group Anonymous this week declared a cyber war on Putin and his administration and has already disabled several Russian government websites and, possibly, some Russian TV channels.
Even PornHub has joined the fight, blocking access to its content for all Russian users. Those in Russia attempting to log in to PornHub are being greeted instead with an image of the Ukrainian flag and a message of support for Ukraine.
Now the bars in the gayborhood are showing their support for Ukraine through their own form of economic sanctions: removing Russian liquors from their shelves.
