Russia Passes Anti-gay-law

THE GUARDIAN: Vladimir Putin signs bill that means people disseminating 'propaganda' about homosexual relationships to minors risk fines

Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, has signed into law a measure that stigmatises gay people and bans giving children any information about homosexuality.

The lower house of Russia's parliament unanimously passed the Kremlin-backed bill on 11 June and the upper house approved it last week.
