A bill that would impose fines for the promotion of “homosexual propaganda
” to minors has been submitted to the lower house of Russia’s parliament,
after a similar measure adopted in St. Petersburg prompted an international
outcry.
The Associated Press reports on the bill submitted to the State Duma on
Thursday by lawmakers from the Novosibirsk region, who claimed that media
promote gay life as “normal.” The measure calls for fines of up to $16,500
for “spreading homosexual propaganda” among minors, and for a fine up to
$33,000 for material promoting pedophilia.
Similar legislation was enacted in St. Petersburg last month. Activists fear
it could be applied broadly to ban public demonstrations, and the
international community has spoken against the law. Madonna vowed to speak
out against the law when she performs in the city this August. | D**S
