The upper house of Russia's parliament on Wednesday unanimously approved a bill significantly expanding restrictions on activities seen as promoting LGBTQ rights in the country, the latest move in an ongoing crackdown on the country's embattled LGBTQ community.

The Federation Council quickly rubber-stamped the bill following its equally speedy approval last week by the lower house, the State Duma. It will now go to President Vladimir Putin who will sign it into law.

The new bill outlaws advertising, media and online resources. books, films and theater productions deemed to contain such "propaganda." Violations are punishable by fines and, if committed by non-residents, could lead to their expulsion from Russia.

Guess no parade in Russia!!

Putin Minions, Karma awaits.

Imagine a country with standards. G7 land of colonial, dysfunctional thieves.

Imagine nations where LGBTQAIIP and Diversity, Inclusion and Equity aren't state religions that are pushed in schools, 'news' media, advertising, movies and TV etc.! I wouldn't want it banned by law, but welcome a break from the relentless push by believers in these ideologies.

Shocker
