The law puts a ban on 'propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.' Hefty fines can now be imposed on those who give info to minors about the LGBT community or hold gay pride rallies.
President Vladimir Putin signed into law Russia’s ban on ‘propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.’
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a measure that stigmatizes gay people and bans giving children any information about homosexuality.
The lower house of Russia's parliament 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 has signed the legislation into law.
SCRIPTURES:
| 2Pe 2:6 | And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; |
| 1Ki 22:46 | And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. |
| 1Ki 15:11 | And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father. |
| 1Ki 15:12 | And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. |
