Russian President Vladimir Putin signs expanded anti-LGBTQ+ law - CBS News

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed expanded anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on Monday. The law was originally introduced by the lower house of Russia's legislature in October, and banned so-called "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" for both adults and minors, said a statement by the State Duma. The original bill passed both the lower and upper chambers of Russian legislature before being signed into law by Putin. 

All positive depictions of the LGBTQ+ community in literature, film, television, online, and more will now be illegal in Russia. 

 

"The initiatives propose punishment for the promotion and justification of non-traditional sexual relations in the media, the Internet, literature and cinema," the statement from the State Duma read, describing the imposition of intimidating fines against individuals, organizations and businesses that the State deems as violating the new legislation. 

The fines range from 100,000 to 4 million rubles, or roughly $1,660 to $66,000. Non-Russian citizens would face expulsion from the country should they be found in violation of the law.

The law was authored by Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, who said in the State Duma statement, "We have traditions, a conscience, an understanding that we need to think about children, families, the country, and preserve what our parents have passed on to us," while citing data that shows increased numbers of people who identify as LGBTQ+ in Europe and the U.S.

 

"We must do everything to protect our children and those who want to live a normal life. Everything else is sin, sodomy, darkness, and our country is fighting this," he said. 

The law has been denounced by many activists and political figures, including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who called it a "serious blow to freedom of expression and the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons in Russia" in Tweet last month after the proposed law passed unanimously through the lower court.

 

This new piece of legislation builds on a 2013 Russian law that banned the so-called "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" to children specifically. The new law now includes adults as well. 

Shortly before the State Duma approved the 2013 legislation in a 436-0 vote, people protesting the bill's passing were attacked by those with anti-LGBTQ+ viewpoints before being detained by police.

Though Russia decriminalized homosexuality in 1993, amendments to the Russian Constitution in 2020 banned LGBTQ+ unions in the country — an action that was declared a human rights violation by the European Court of Human Rights. Putin has even previously said that Russia must "cleanse" itself of homosexuality.

 

Russia has also been criticized in recent years for its treatment of LGBTQ+ people in Chechnya, whose mayor denounced homosexuality in 2017, stating "We don't have those kinds of people here." Chechen members of the LGBTQ+ community have accused police in the Russian republic of kidnapping and torture.

While the Kremlin has not yet announced Putin's signature on this latest anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, it was shown on a copy of the measure published on the State Duma website, according to the Associated Press.

America could always offer immediate citizenship to all gay Russians who wish to escape the pogroms.

Agreed.  Who was it that said they'd turn away Russian men fleeing mobilization?  Finland and Kazakhstan?  Despicable policy.  Absolutely indefensible.

@Herodotus is that the right thing to do, or just a western thing?

Ordinarily you'd suspect that Russia would send KGB operatives pretending to be gay to infiltrate America but they just can't find anyone willing to take it up the ass for the Kremlin.

Russia has done many things wrong; this includes sharing your Leftist/ Fascist/Communist philosophy.   The death and destruction caused by your beliefs is unprecedented.

My philosophy doesn't include authoritarianism. So, no. 

Your philosophy requires authoritarianism to succeed.  All that for which you push is governmental slavery.   Didn't you just want to smash railroads and nationalize them?  Contrast that with my noble push for freedom and tolerance. 

The end result of your beliefs is totalitarianism, poverty, despair, prejudice, covetousness, violence and hatred.   These demons already rule you.

Choose love.   Choose capitalism.

the people should decide what happens to industries and resources that all people need to live and for society to function. Not the few and powerful who profit off the people.

How are you free if a handful of corporations own everything and put it behind a paywall?

There are benefits to humanity in both socialism and capitalism.

Being a fan boy of either system exclusively is just stupid.

The first step is market socialism. More money in the hands of workers and less in the hands of the capitalists who buy politicians.

Hero is avoiding this one like the plague.

Considering this thread wallows in self-righteous shitlib inanity, I'm not surprised.
