Russia's Highest Court Upholds So-Called LGBT Propaganda Law
Source: The Advocate
Russia's highest court upheld the country's ban on so-called LGBT propaganda last week, claiming it was necessary to prevent children from being recruited into non-heterosexual society.
Activists Nikolay Alekseev, Yaroslav Evtushenko, and Dmitry Isakov filed the complaint with the Constitutional Court of Russia, claiming it violated their constitutional right to freedom of speech, while also discriminating against them, RT reports.
The court, however, said the law was aimed at protecting minors from information that could "push [them] to nonconventional sexual relationships, which in their turn prevent from building a family, as it is traditionally understood in Russia." The court also said the law was not an outright ban or censure of homosexuality.
Constitutional Court judge Nikolay Bondar said the law also contends that minors must not be allowed in pro-LGBT events like rallies or discussions, nor can the information promoted be aimed at young people.
