When LGBT people become more active, broader and will be able to significantly influence from below.

After women get equal rights.
After your privacy is respected.
I think that simply stopping introducing anti-LGBT laws will not be enough. Russians quite often treat the choice and opinion of another person insufficiently tolerantly, if it is far from their own. In order for LGBT people to be treated normally, in addition to stopping the printing of anti-LGBT laws and their subsequent elimination, it is necessary that in Russia they begin to value the choice of another person more than they do now.
Most never do. This taboo was developed long before the current political attitudes and depends very little on them, although it is actively used. The fact is that this is a natural attitude to the public demonstration of abnormal, for most, behavior. So, of course, no one cares about anyone and no one cares about anyone. As long as they don't ask you to decide whether you're for or against, most people don't really care. And of course, the overwhelming majority is against it.
I believe that this will be possible only when what is commonly called “privacy” or the narrower term “privacy” really exists in Russia, not on paper, but in practice.
In other words, the majority will treat LGBT people normally when this majority actually follows the fundamental principles of freedoms and human rights specified in the Constitution:�
Part 2 of Article 19-The State guarantees equality of human and civil rights and freedoms regardless of gender, race, nationality, language, origin, property and official status, place of residence, attitude to religion, beliefs, membership in public associations, as well as other circumstances. Any form of restriction of citizens ' rights on the grounds of social, racial, national, linguistic or religious affiliation is prohibited;
Part 1 of Article 21-The dignity of the individual is protected by the State. Nothing can be a reason for belittling it;
Part 1 of Article 22-Everyone has the right to freedom and personal inviolability;
Part 1 of Article 23-Everyone has the right to inviolability of private life, personal and family secrets, protection of their honor and good name;
Part 1 of Article 24-Collection, storage, use and dissemination of information about a person's private life without his consent is not allowed.
You can't interfere with someone else's privacy just because they don't like it.
In 25 years. Around this time, the first generation, which deeply doesn't care who sleeps with whom (and this is how it is normal to treat LGBT people), will have grandchildren.
We have a lot of people who care. It doesn't matter who you sleep with, how you dress, or what you think. And if something goes out of their usual channel, they will not hesitate to announce it. Some will call them “rednecks”, others-just rude, but the fact is that they just say what they think. Europeans are often reserved in their assessments and comments. But it's worth noting that it's not just about tolerance. They are more law-abiding, and much less likely to say things that can lead to conflict. A German friend said that she envies us, because Russians often do not go for a word in their pocket, and she always has to find streamlined wording.
Many CIS residents find it difficult to contain their negative emotions at the sight of rainbow flags, and even more so same-sex couples. They consider it at least a provocation. And the situation can only be changed at the legislative level, and even then everything will not change immediately.
But the option with laws is also impossible, because now our course is aimed at much more conservative family values. And it is unlikely to change in the next decade.
So the answer is very slow.
When the LGBT community ceases to exist. But, since this is not possible, then never. And in general, a rather stupid question. No one can answer for everyone.
I don't know when, but I'm really looking forward to it.
For I have already tired out the Russian youth, who are so concerned about this question that they ask it under different types almost every week on this site.
Most never do.�
Because it is “normal” to relate to something “abnormal/unusual/not like everyone else” most will not in principle (I did not find any refuting examples).
In general, there is a chance of a better attitude. This will happen if the topic of LGBT discrimination is not discussed in blogs and mass media.
As an example, no one discusses atheists or believers, rock musicians or nudists. Although this is also “abnormal” for society. And we do not see that representatives of these communities go to rallies with flags in order to express themselves.
It's normal to look for like-minded people and form communities. But imposing one's interests in public will always cause negativity among the uninitiated. Not all of them, but many.
If you leave out the laws and leave out ethics, the most striking example is with nudists: start naked rallies and the theme of “freedom with genitals” – and a huge number of indifferent people will have a negative attitude towards the entire community.
An easier example is bikers. Men on choppers with beards and leather jackets are not discussed or judged by anyone – they do not impose their interests on anyone. However, those motorcyclists who roar around residential areas will always be hated by many. All the same imposing their interests on society. Nonverbally, but the message is the same.
They will be treated normally if this topic is not developed in every blog.
When Russia becomes a somewhat democratic country, with the possibility of conducting political activities and freedom of speech, and with active citizens with at least minimal ideas about how this should work. In conditions when it becomes possible to solve public problems through their discussion, and then implement the decisions made.
We need to fight for Russia to become like this.
In such conditions, LGBT people will be able to achieve destigmatization and get all the necessary rights even faster than in other countries. Russia is by no means conservative in sexual matters, and the population is not very religious. In addition, we are not pioneers in this field, the discussion has been going on since the 50s, and there is practically nothing new in it.
Let's first understand what “normal” is. In any society or community (as, I believe, in the LGBT community), there are certain norms and rules. In fact, these rules and regulations define communities and their existence. Norms and rules may differ from one community to another, sometimes diametrically. Some norms and rules are called “laws”, others are called “traditions”, and still others are called “moral and ethical”. Introducing the norms and rules of one society into another can have devastating consequences. For an example. Imagine that an Englishman arrives in Russia and starts using left-hand traffic, while everyone else is driving on the right side. Moreover, he begins to resent, they say, his rights are being infringed upon. In his society, left-hand traffic is normal, but what will it lead to in our country? Correctly. To victims and destruction. So it is with LGBT communities that try to impose on society the norms that they have adopted. But the adoption of other people's norms and rules is destructive for society. Why should we change our norms, laws and traditions to please someone else and, as a result, destroy our society???
Now, someone try to explain to me what is meant by the phrase “the LGBT community is not normally treated in Russia”.
Never. Because homosexuals are not a $ 100 piece of paper and don't have to be liked by everyone. There have always been, are and will always be people in society who will have extremely negative attitudes towards gays.
When they stop banning all this and consider it something abnormal, terrible, painful. completely everyone is unlikely to stop having a negative attitude towards these people, alas. If we still didn't actively promote the idea of LGBT people being evil, it might be easier, but few people want to think with their own brains. And to get rid of the idea that the world has “only two kinds of people” is hard for most people, and even harder when it is forbidden at the highest level and called something terrible.
