Russian Orthodox Church Backs Bill to Ban LGBT Propaganda
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has backed a bill to ban LGBT propaganda, said Vladimir Legoyda, chairman of the Synodal Department for External Church and Media Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate. | According to him, propaganda of phenomena considered sinful not only in Orthodoxy, but also in other religious traditions, destroys society, so the law should clearly enshrine and protect values.
💬 "We supported the bill in the current version as early as during the public hearings in the State Duma, which showed the consensus of all political and social forces. I think that the implementation of the provisions of the law in social networks, where such propaganda is most widespread, may be subject to clarification during subsequent readings," said Legoyda (quoted by RIA Novosti).
On 27 October, the law banning LGBT propaganda was passed in its first reading. It provides for a ban on propaganda of non-traditional relationships, paedophilia, as well as a ban on the dissemination of information about LGBT. For example, a violation of the ban on LGBT propaganda will face a fine of 50,000 to 400,000 rubles for individuals, 100,000 to 800,000 rubles for officials, 800,000 to 5 million rubles, or suspension of activities for up to 90 days for legal entities. ● The head of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children Affairs, Nina Ostanina, said afterwards that gay clubs and other places promoting non-traditional sexual relationships could be shut down.
