She posted the messages online with photos of the senders in an album called “Beautiful People And What They Say To Me,” originally translated by Global Voices. Warning: this post contains obscene language.
This is Elena Klimova. She runs a support group for Russian LGBT teens online called Children-404, where she posts letters from young people about coming out and dealing with discrimination.
The group's name is a reference to the "page not found" online error and Russia's law banning "gay propaganda" among minors. One of it slogans is "LGBT Teens: We Exist."

Klimova gets lots of hate mail for supporting LGBT teens. Yesterday, she posted some of it, with photos of her detractors, in an album called "Beautiful People And The Things They Say To Me" on the Russian social network VKontakte.

"You fucking animal, delete your fucking LGBT group."
Klimova juxtaposes the vicious, obscene insults with everyday photos from the writers' social media accounts. BuzzFeed News blurred their faces.
