From Russia's POV, Western imperialism and LGBTQ+ has become synonymous, and this was no accident. Just look at the Lockheed Martin funded pride march from a while ago...

Edit: I'm not trying to make the claim that Western imperialism and LGBTQ+ are synonymous, rather I'm commenting on how Western capitalists have co-opted LGBTQ+ movements and imageries, and this would have the effect of compelling Russia, or other global south countries who sees this, to stray towards a less LGBTQ+ tolerant direction.

I've read various comments on Reddit and Lemmygrad stating that the LGBTQ+ movement is heavily pushed by the state to provide a distraction to the workers from their economic immiseration.

I don't know how true that conjecture is, but it does feel really unsettling how much the imperialists are pushing for it.

They push it because it's an easy win. Corporations will subvert any cause that doesn't have directly to do with overthrowing capitalism. They do the same thing with environmentalism and diversity initiatives. That doesn't mean that those things are inherently bad or part of some sort of secret plot.
