• Russia Russian opponents begin to shout together with gays

Russia is going to decree a total ban on "propaganda of non-traditional relationships",

equating gays and pedophiles

in the same decree and extending the ban to all areas.

The law proposes to ban all Russians from promoting or "praised" homosexual relationships, or simply publicly suggesting that they are "normal."

The State Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament, has passed a law that prohibits reporting or telling stories about LGBT people, pedophilia or transgender transition.

The legislative initiative involves outlawing "gay propaganda" among all Russians, and not only in spaces to which minors can have access, as established by the law in force in Russia since 2013.

The dissemination of content that deals with gays and transgender people

will be a crime among people of any age

through the media, the Internet, advertising, literature, and cinema.

Certain films are also prohibited

from being broadcast

if they contain material that "promotes non-traditional sexual relationships" or deals with pedophilia.

The threat of this law, which has been brewing since shortly after

Vladimir Putin

attacked Ukraine in the name of anti-fascism, is already forcing

some television scripts to change

.

The media are left unarmed to tell what happens.

There will be strong administrative penalties for breaking the law.

The fine for LGBT "propaganda" for citizens will be up to 200,000 rubles, (

about 3,180 euros

at current exchange rates).

For entities, the punishment amounts to five million rubles, about 79,500 euros.

Today a unanimous voice thundered loudly from Parliament, saying that Russia is a country different from the rest, a clean homeland in a world corrupted by liberalism.

About 400 State Duma deputies, including House Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, are listed as the authors of the bill.

"We have a different path, our grandfathers, great-grandfathers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers chose it.

We have traditions, we have conscience, we understand that we must think of children

, of families, of the country, to preserve what our parents have transmitted to us," he said. the president of the State Duma, who on several occasions has sounded like a possible successor to Vladimir Putin.
