Rusia, Seorang pejabat terkemuka di Gereja Ortodoks mendesak anggota parlemen federal untuk mengadopsi RUU melarang promosi homoseksualitas di ruang publik.
Undang-undang serupa disetujui akhir Februari di kota terbesar kedua Rusia, StPetersburg, dengan denda sebanyak $ 33.000.
Bapa Dmitry Pershin, Kepala dewan pemuda gereja , pada hari Senin membuat sebuah pernyataan bahwa hukum harus diterapkan secara nasional “tanpa penundaan.”
Aktifis hak-hak LGBT di Rusia membenarkan bahwa pihak pemerintah Rusia akan melarang setiap demonstrasi dan publikasi yang dilakukan oleh LGBT.
Homoseksualitas psikotropika dilegalkan di Rusia pada tahun 1993, Namun kelompok Anti LGBT dan Gereja Ortodok terus melakukan tekanan kepada Pemerintah agar LGBT tidak mendapatkan ruang yang setara di Rusia

Similar legislation approved late February in Russia’s second largest city, St. Petersburg, mandated fines of up to $33,000.
Father Dmitry Pershin, head of the church’s youth council, said Monday in a statement that the law should be applied nationwide “without delay.”
Gay rights activists say the law could be used to ban any public demonstrations by Russia’s embattled gay and transgender community.
Homosexuality was decriminalized in Russia in 1993, but anti-gay sentiments remain strong.
The Orthodox Church, which was heavily suppressed in Soviet times, has exercised a growing influence on public policy in Russia.
