"BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Anastasia Domini and wife Anna Domini walked
hand in hand on a recent sunny day in Argentina’s capital while their four
restless children played nearby.
It’s a common sight in a country where same-sex marriage has been legal for
more than a decade. But the couple, who got married shortly after arriving in
Buenos Aires early last year, still remember the fear they felt when they first
decided to hold hands in public after leaving Russia, which explicitly outlawed
same-sex marriages in 2020.
“It was really scary,” Anastasia Domini said, but “we were looking around and
really, really nobody was looking.”
For the Dominis, who changed their last names so they could more convincingly
pretend to be sisters in Russia, the stroll exemplified how much their lives
had changed since they moved, joining an increasing number of LGBTQ+ Russians
who decided to leave their homeland and settle in Argentina to escape
discrimination and the war with Ukraine."
