Russia charges LGBT teen support group with 'gay propaganda'

http://www.buzzfeed.com/maxseddon/russia-charges-lgbt-teen-support-group-for-gay-propaganda?s=mobile

Children 404, who take their name from an online error message for 'not found,' are an LGBT youth support group based in Russia. Under Russia's law against so-called 'gay propaganda,' the group's founder now faces prosecution.

From the article:

Stories like Ilya's may be enough to see the group temporarily suppressed — or even permanently shuttered — under Russia's controversial ban on "gay propaganda." On Monday, Russia's state communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor, announced that it was charging journalist Elena Klimova, the group's founder, with "promoting homosexuality to minors."

I like the name of the group; very clever. Here the slogan, "it gets better." In Russia, it seems the slogan is "we're coming for you!"
