Source: CNN
Russias lower house of parliament passed in the third reading amendments to a law on so-called LGBT propaganda on Thursday, expanding liability to all ages.
The discriminatory law proposes to ban all Russians from promoting or praising homosexual relationships or publicly suggesting that they are normal.
The original version of the law adopted in 2013 banned propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors. The new iteration would apply the law to adults as well.
Individuals who spread or attempt to distribute what the bill calls LGBT propaganda will be fined up to 400,000 rubles ($6,600). Legal entities can be fined up to 5 million rubles ($82,100). Foreigners can be arrested for up to 15 days or deported, according to the bill

(621 posts)I can see the route that conservatives take in their wrongheaded support for Russia. However, I have a much more difficult time understanding how people who claim to be left of center, or more commonly, leftists, justify their support.
I find them more frustrating, because I know they understand that they are supporting something bad. But their campist view of the world makes them unwilling to oppose anything that they view as anti-west

The fact that you are now going to go after children to show your might is more than disgusting. It is evil. Remember that when your country cracks under the weight of tyranny.
