So he commented on the words of the head of the Union of Women of Russia, Ekaterina Lakhova, who during a video meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin said that rainbow colors on billboards or the name “Rainbow” can indirectly remind the LGBT flag.
“Our company stands for traditional family relations and strongly disagrees with the opinion of Mrs. Lakhova. We believe that the rainbow is the sun after the rain, and not the flag of the LGBT community, ”Beniaminov told RIA Novosti.
He added that the ice cream produced by the company has four colors of the rainbow, and if the authorities “issue the relevant act”, the company will obey.
“But today we are the owners of the trademark with a beautiful label with our ice cream with the word“ Rainbow ”. Of course, we will continue to produce it, because we believe that this is a symbol of joy, ”Beniaminov emphasized.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin said that in Russia there are no and will not be restrictions on rights based on race and sexual orientation.
