It’s always been like this - example brighton beach is called a russian neighborhood but its official nickname is little odesa.

he called odesa a russian city??

The most important thing that westerners don't (want to) realize that this is the russian soft propaganda. They use the media to spread useful narratives and rewrite history. Also they control western audiences' public perception of russia and its international image. By telling the "half truth" (russia being homophobic) they create an illusion of being open about everything that is happening (aggression against neighbouring countries and war against Ukraine). They just don't say it out loud, because "they don't want to distract you (the viewer) from the most important thing - a tragic story of two lovers". No war or genocide can stay even close to the story of two people (no matter straight or gay) that want to fuck but it's a "no-no".

Ukrainian artist and activist Lana Chornohorska, 26, was killed by ruzzian drone strike while defending Ukraine

The lives of many Ukrainian artists are either on pause or in danger every day, or they have died. And you continue to take Russians into your zines and take commissions from them.
