Khinshtein: the idea of ​​fines for LGBT propaganda expands the already established responsibility

“Today's edition of the Code of Administrative Offenses indicates what propaganda is - the point is precisely that it is the formation of a positive image and the equivalence of these (non-traditional and traditional. -

) sexual relations.

If this is not the case, then there is no responsibility and no problems, a classic example is Nabokov’s novel “Lolita”, it cannot be recognized as LGBT propaganda and propaganda of pedophilia,” Khinshtein said.

Before the bill is submitted for consideration by the State Duma, the initiative will be discussed at open public hearings scheduled to be held in September, he said.

The deputy added that it would also be necessary to understand whether something fell out of the jurisdiction of the document.

“In particular, I see a lot of discussions going on regarding the propaganda of the so-called transgender – gender reassignment.

We will discuss this as well,” he said.

For "real art and literature," the initiative poses no threat, Khinshtein added.

On August 31, the deputy announced that he had sent a bill to the government on fines for propaganda of LGBT people and pedophilia.

Roskomnadzor supported the bill.
