Vladimir Putin‘s war on gays just got worse. In addition to the law Russia‘s president signed in June banning any public show of support for LGBT people, now the parliament of Russia is working on a bill that would offer free “ex-gay” or “reparative” therapy on gay people. So-called “ex-gay therapy,” and the larger class of SOCE — sexual orientation change efforts — have been shown to be largely at best ineffective and generally harmful. Every major medial association has condemned the practice as harmful.

The “therapy” supposedly would be anonymous and voluntary. But given Russia’s current war on the LGBT community, how long would it be before the government-sponsored “ex-gay therapy” became not voluntary, but mandatory? Would those convicted of violating Russia’s “homosexual propaganda” laws be “offered” the option to undergo harmful conversion therapy in lieu of a jail sentence? The mind reels at the possibilities.

...

As Russian LGBT journalist Masha Gessen and many others have noted, Putin and Parliament are reportedly also working on a bill that would allow the Russian government to remove all children from LGBT and same-sex parents. Gessen is moving to New York to escape the possible removal of her children.

Wake up, people. It is "again." We still have time to stop this new holocaust, but since some people here still think that the persecution of LGBT is "horseshit" and a "revolting little political game" one has to wonder if we have the political will to do so.
