“Putin
is the 'Czar of Homophobia'. His regime has outlawed the
public expression of LGBT identity and affection - and
prohibited the advocacy of LGBT human rights - in
circumstances where a person under 18 might see it. The
adoption of children by overseas same-sex couples has
also been banned and LGBT organisations that receive
donations from abroad are being fined as ‘foreign
agents’. These are the latest examples of escalating
homophobic and political repression in Russia,” said
Peter Tatchell, Director of the Peter Tatchell
Foundation.
