Anti-LGBTQ family who fled to Russia regret decision as locals don't speak English

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/anti-lgbtq-family-who-fled-32201079

A family who fled Canada for Russia to escape so-called LGBTQ ideology now say they regret their decision as locals don't speak English.

Arend and Anneesa Feenstra couldn't stand the "woke" LGBTQ ideology being thrown in their faces everywhere they went in the small, rural town in Ontario, Canada, where they were living. So, the couple packed their bags, grabbed their eight children and moved to Russia, where they hoped things would be better for them.
