A study by Russian LGBT group Coming Out published Wednesday found that 88% of Russian trans people were either planning to or wanted to leave Russia. Some 65% of those asked said they wanted to leave Russia, but didn’t know how, while a further 23% had plans to emigrate. Only 12% of those surveyed said they had no plans to leave. The survey questioned 816 Russians from various parts of the country. The most commonly cited reason for wanting to leave was the general pressure on LGBT people in the country, with 94% of those wishing to emigrate listing it as a factor.
