If you're leaving LJ because of Russia's stance on LGBT issues, please consider a donation to the Russian LGBT network. Their work saves lives. Perhaps donate what you would have spent buying a year's paid LJ time? (LJ itself is not anti-LGBT)

Donate or read more here

If you're not leaving LJ, consider posting this link publicly so that our Russian friends on the site can see it, and get help if they need it.

The Russian government's stance on LGBT issues does not reflect LJ's stance on them. If anything, LJ for a very long time was a platform for anti-Putin bloggers.

thanks for sharing this link!

I'm aware of this. :) However, for some people, this is a step too far so I wanted to post the donate link for anyone leaving LJ permanently.

You're welcome!

maybe re-word it then because it currently sounds like LJ holds anti-LGBT stances which is false information

It was copied from a friend's LJ but I will edit it.
