Russian organic grocer VkusVill has pulled its promotional material featuring an LGBT family and replaced it with an apology less than a week after posting it.
Social media users reportedly swarmed VkusVills and the same-sex familys accounts with death threats after their story ran Wednesday as part of a series spotlighting the retail chains regular customers. By Sunday, the advertising articles URL contained a contrite message signed by VkusVill's founder Andrei Krivenko and senior executives.

Russian Food Retailer Defies Gay Propaganda Law With LGBT Family-Featuring Ad
I'm thinking American republicans would love to pass a "Gay Propaganda" Law.
The CEO was groveling.. you can almost hear him begging, please don't shoot me.
We consider this publication to be our mistake, which was the result of individual employees unprofessionalism, VkusVill wrote in the apology.
VkusVill said the original advertising article that sparked an outburst of threats and outrage from conservative groups hurt the feelings of a large number of our customers, employees, partners and suppliers.

That is exactly what the Reptilian Party wants for America.

And the F'en STUPID factor of America says, hey, that's great, hail Donald Trump (or Ronald Dion DeSantis) our dictator.
