Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The bill banning the promotion of non-traditional sexual relationships may be passed in the first reading next week, and in November it may go to President Vladimir Putin for his signature. TASS was reported by Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin as saying.

According to him, within the next week, the law may be adopted in the I reading, then in the II and III, and after - sent to the Council of Federation. Volodin expressed hope that Putin will sign the bill in November.

The Duma speaker also noted that the bill to ban gay propaganda is not meant to limit, but to protect the rights of citizens. He believes that this document should have been adopted much earlier.

Earlier, it was reported that the Russian government gave a favorable review of the bill providing for LGBT propaganda charges.

Reminder for everyone here to support the Rainbow Railroad.

Weird factoid, they didn't even want to say the word 'homosexuality' in the final draft, they changed it to 'non-traditional sexual relationship', so it effects basically any queer person trying to be in any sort of relationship.

Look at you, Russia.

Under Lenin, you once stood so proud to oppose America's culture of arrogance. Now you fully embrace American values of hatred and evil.
