LGBTQ+ Couple Remarries in Minnesota After Fleeing Russia

Erik and Ivan Beda, a couple who first united in marriage back in 2006, have remarried in Minnesota after a poignant journey of separation and reunion. The couple originally divorced due to the pressures and legal constraints after Erik came out as a transgender man, as Russian laws prohibit marriage between two men. Fleeing Russia’s severe anti-LGBTQ+ crackdown in December 2023, they sought refuge where they could live and love freely. Their remarriage in Minnesota not only marks a new beginning in a supportive environment but also a powerful statement against discrimination, celebrating their love and resilience in the face of adversity.
