President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a measure that stigmatizes gay people and bans giving children any information about homosexuality.
The State Duma unanimously passed the Kremlin-backed bill on June 11 and the upper house approved it last week.
The ban on "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" is part of an effort to promote traditional Russian values over Western liberalism, which the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church see as corrupting Russian youth and contributing to the protests against Putin's rule.
Hefty fines can now be imposed on those who provide information about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to minors or hold gay pride rallies.
The Kremlin announced Sunday that Putin had signed the legislation into law.

Its time for Obama to fly to Moscow and give his fairness and equality speech.
Go East young man!
What a crime we have in this country: children are forced to undergo homosexual indoctrination. I don’t think this is America anymore.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, except for a digital clock.
Especially the part banning the passing of homoprop to children... that’s a GREAT law. Russia apparently has decided to draw a line on societal degradation.
Africa was not receptive to Obama’s homosexual agenda, either.
and Obama will legalize Child Porn
America has been slowly replaced piece by piece with its perverse polar opposite. Just as professional stock cars are just a superficial shell of the original nominal model, having all the "stock" parts replaced with high-performance components unrecognizable from the original, we are, indeed, a different country.
depends how the digital is broke
America always swings too far—one direction or another—Look to see much of this pushed back. I bet Obama will start a new Cold War and threaten world peace all for his Gay Buddies and making normal the thing most of the world sees as a perversion. He will try to force Russia to be Pro-Gay or call then Racists and Homophobes! That should make them want to cahnge there culture to please “The One”—did ya know he won the Nobel Peace Prize? Didn’t ya hear he’s the smartest man on Earth?
You’re right. America has become Sodom and Gomorrah. I left that new America and still live in the old America - my house and my garden. Hussein doesn’t rule here and his homosexuals aren’t here. Jihad Muslims aren’t here, either. Firearms/ammo have a permanent home here.
Obammy needs to jet over to Moscow and set up his teleprompters and get the homosexuals and lesbians agitated. Perhaps they’ll riot and get mowed down by the Russian police!!
In this country, having the first Negro-homosexual president, we put all queers on a pedestal.
Wherever you are, I hope you are able to defend it for a long time. Because it’s their nature to come after you. They are like a lion seeking whom they may devour.
what happens to Obama’s internationalist stance when this becomes part of an international treaty? After all this is about MINORS. (for those in rio linda, recruiting children for adult behavior)
Ironic twist on the ## Steps to Communism.
russia’s government isn’t cowed by the holy forces of tolerance.
Vlad is just determined to make me forget his past. And he is doing a damn fine job of it so far.
I have to wonder if the Russian leaders know just how appealing their hard line stance against depravity is to many Americans.
