Moscow (AFP) – Russian lawmakers unanimously approved a bill banning all forms of LGBTQ "propaganda" in a final reading on Thursday, as Moscow presses ahead with its conservative drive at home while its troops fight in Ukraine.
The legislation passed by the lower house of parliament, the Duma, bars all mention of what authorities deem "gay propaganda" in the media, cinema, books and advertisement.
It also prohibits "the propaganda of paedophilia and sex change".
If also approved by the upper house of parliament and signed into law by President Vladimir Putin, rights groups say it effectively bans all public promotion of LGBTQs in Russia.
Moscow already has a law against "propaganda" directed at minors regarding LGBTQ relationships. The new bill would broaden that rule to adults.
"Any propaganda of non-traditional relationships will have consequences," the speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said on social media.
He said the bill "will protect our children and the future of our country from the darkness spread by the US and European states".

Russia doesn’t want or need monkeypox.
For that they would have to close all the gay bars and saunas in Moscow. Funny that's not happening.

“any propaganda about non-traditional relationships will have consequences.” As an aside, back in February there were 3 cases of monkeypox in our country. Today there are 30,000...primarily in the queer community.
Actually, I’m kinda tired of the gay agenda in this country, which is way out of proportion. Maybe all Russian ideas aren’t bad...
You're such a tool. You'd find a reason to gripe about a warm sunny day. The Russians are light years ahead of the globohomos which includes US. That's probably at the root of your hate. You hate to see that march slowed by even a half step.
“Actually, I’m kinda tired of the gay agenda in this country, which is way out of proportion. Maybe all Russian ideas aren’t bad...”
Actually I believe some here are PROHIBITED from saying that Russia does anything right.
Think of it this way - if Australia were doing the same, would there be people here, on THIS conservative site, attacking Australia for it?
I expect to get flamed here, too, but it’s the way I feel. What anyone does in the privacy of their own home is okay with me as long as it affects no one else. However, watching prime time TV (e.g., 911) with my grandson (he loves fire engines) and having to explain why two men are kissing in bed and then next scene shows two women doing the same thing is pushing it too far. Yeah, I know...change the channel, and that’s what I do to the chagrin of my grandson.
You won’t get flamed by me. I’m PERFECTLY HAPPY to say that I support Russia keeping these ‘alternative lifestyles’ as bottled as possible. After all, we did just the same for our first 200 years as a country and the entire Western Culture was only able to developed once they forced sex into the bedroom and nowhere else (starting at least 2000 years ago).
