Russia’s ‘gay propaganda law’

  • In 2013 Russia enacted the so-called “gay propaganda law”.
  • In one case, people were fined for holding a banner with the words: “Children have the right to know.
  • Homosexuality is natural and normal.” Sharing LGBT-related information on social media or posting photos of people of same-sex kissing were also deemed to be LGBT propaganda and subject to legal sanction.

Homophobia unleashed

  • One of the first victims of the newly amended “gay propaganda law” were seven migrant trans women from Central Asia.
  • The seven sex workers were fined and then deported in March 2023 under the propaganda laws after they published their profiles on a dating website.
  • At around the same time, six different online streaming platforms were penalised for airing movies with LGBTQ-related scenes.
  • The supreme court’s decision to label the international LGBT movement as extremist has effectively re-criminalised homosexuality.

What can be done?

  • One way would be to support LGBTQ organisations that are still operating in the country.
  • These groups need resources to keep providing legal advice and support to those facing arrest and prosecution.
  • Another is to write letters of support to people facing imprisonment for their “extremism” as members of the LGBT community.
