Top Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina comes out as lesbian<\/title>\n<h2>In a YouTube interview, the Russian tennis player said she identifies as lesbian and spoke up about the situation that LGBTQ+ people face in her country.<\/h2>\nOn Tuesday, e out as lesbian in a YouTube interview conducted by vlogger Vitya Kravchenko. She also shared that she is currently dating Olympic figure skater Natalia Zabiiako, later confirming the news with an Instagram post of the two of them together.<\/p>\nAt 25 years old, Daria Kasatkina is the world\u2019s number 12 tennis player, reaching the semi-finals of the French Open earlier this year. She currently lives and trains in Barcelona, Spain. In the interview with Vitya Kravchenko on his YouTube channel, the tennis player came out as lesbian, answering with a firm \u201cYes.\u201d when Kravchenko asked if she had a girlfriend.<\/p>\nSpeaking on her decision to come out, she said: \u201cLiving in the closet is impossible. Not for the long run, no. It is too hard. It is pointless. You will be completely focused on that until you choose to come out.\u201d<\/p>\nShe then added, \u201cOf course, it is up to you to decide how to do it and how much you tell. Living in peace with yourself is the only thing that matters, and f**k everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\nThe conversation between the tennis player and Kravchenko then veered to talking about the situation that LGBTQ+ people face in Russia nowadays. <a href=\"https:\/\/datingranking.net\/uk-lesbian-dating\/\" data-link=\"https:\/\/datingranking.net\/uk-lesbian-dating\/\" data-button=\"LinkPreview\" id=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK lesbian dating login<\/a> Kasatkina said that, were she still living in her home country, she would never hold her girlfriend\u2019s hand in public. \u201cJudging by how things are going there, it will never be OK,\u201d she said.<\/p>\nShe was referring to the fact the LGBTQ+ community in Russia faces constant discrimination, with the country ranking third to last in the recent \u2018Rainbow Europe\u2019 index published by ILGA-Europe, which lists countries in Europe based on how LGBTQ+ friendly they are.<\/p>\nOne of the main issues in Russia is the so-called \u2018gay propaganda\u2019 law, which was introduced in 2013 to censor queer content for minors and has been used to threaten and intimidate LGBTQ+ activists and persecute queer folks in the country.<\/p>\nRecently, Russian officials proposed to further expand the law to include adults, an action that would completely outlaw content on LGBTQ+ issues and themes in the entire country. These stricter rules are currently under discussion in the nation\u2019s parliament and lawmakers hope to introduce them later this year.<\/p>\nIn discussion with Kravchenko, Kasatkina spoke of the notion that some people in Russia have that being gay is a choice. \u201cSeriously, if there is a choice, no one would choose being gay. Why make your life harder, especially in Russia? What\u2019s the point? It is important to talk about these things. It is important for young people who have a hard time with society and need support,\u201d she said.<\/p>\nThe tennis player also mentioned that what inspired her to come out was lesbian Russian footballer Nadezhda doing the same thing in June. \u201cNot only did Nadya help herself by coming out and get this burden off her chest, she has also helped others,\u201d Kasatkina said.<\/p>\n\u201cI believe it is important that influential people from sports, or any other sphere really, speak about it,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<h2>Support GCN<\/h2>\nDuring this global COVID pandemic, we like many other organisations have been impacted greatly in the way we can do business and produce.
