Russian Lower House of Parliament moves to strengthen ban on “gay propaganda”

The Russian Duma has, unanimously, voted to modify an existing law to now prohibit all Russians from praising or promoting homosexual relationships or publicly suggesting that they’re normal.

Under the proposed new law, which still has to pass the upper house, the Federation Council, and Putin’s (homophopbic) signature, an individual would be liable for a fine of up to $6,500 US for an offense; legal entities, up to $81,400 US. Foreigners could enjoy 15 days in the comforts of a Russian cell. Because their sentencing is so just and consistent, isn’t that right, Ms. Griner?

”Our bill is not an act of censorship,” said the head of the Duma’s Information Policy Committee. Yeah, right comrade.

The European Court of Human Rights already ruled that the original law violates the European Convention on Human Rights.

Which is all very interesting as homosexuality has been legal in Russia since 1993.
