Russia’s lower house of parliament on Friday passed a bill banning any “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person” as part of a batch of laws aimed at combating LGBTQ propaganda.
The thrice-reviewed bill, which must still be approved by the upper chamber, the Federation Council, and signed by President Vladimir Putin to take effect, only permits gender “reassignment” surgery to treat congenital physical abnormalities in children.
The law also bans people who have attempted to surgically change their sex from becoming adoptive parents or guardians and provides for the ability to annul a marriage if either spouse “changes” their sex and “update[s] their civil status records,” according to CNN.
It additionally prohibits the amendment of official documents and public records to reflect a gender “transition.”
The bill is expected to become law. The Federation Council typically approves legislation passed by the Duma (lower house) and Putin is known for promoting policies in favor of traditional families and against LGBTQ ideology. The law had unanimous support in the Duma.

In the mostly orthodox country Russia is invading that religion and the other religions and Christian denominations are freely practiced except for the Russian-connected Orthodox, and church attendance is very high.

Are you talking about Ukraine or Russia?
Problem for you is that I am not talking about Ukraine or defending it as a moral paradise - whether or not it is is wholly irrelevant to these ridiculous and false attempts to flatter Russia as some beacon of morality to emulate.

Didn’t Ukraine just do the opposite and promote the LGBTQRSTUV insanity?
And Russia is our enemy??
Sounds like you like the idea of chucking the red white and blue for a lousy rainbow. Remember when America used to be “ a shining city on a hill”? Now it’s a perverted Gomorrah in a sewer. I never thought I’d see the day when Russia had the moral high, by a large margin, over the US.
The Globohomo Comintern in DC does the exact opposite. They export liberal morals to our allies.
They have pride month in Spain and Denmark, and paint murals of George Floyd in Berlin and London, after all.
Hallelujah, Putin! I don’t care why he’s doing this. At least he’s putting a stop to the trans insanity.
