Cultural note:
Same-sex marriage remains illegal in Russia. Since Russian has so many terms that are gendered (like words related to marriage), as well as gendered grammar, people have begun to try to work out how to talk about topics like same-sex marriage and gender identity in Russian. Chapter 6 about the United States has more information on this topic.
