Where can I find the Russian "anti-gay law" translate in English? - Philippe - 03-26-2014 12:44 PM
If you let me a link to the translation (or transcript the law in your answer), I would finally make my own opinion.

Does it matter? Are you Russian? Look at all the propaganda the west has put out against Russia. It's just the anti-Conservative movement in the west that is inciting this with the largely Liberal media. In the USA we have similar laws to what Russia has, for some states.

Got this from a website
Propaganda is the act of distributing information among minors that 1) is aimed at the creating nontraditional sexual attitudes, 2) makes nontraditional sexual relations attractive, 3) equates the social value of traditional and nontraditional sexual relations, or 4) creates an interest in nontraditional sexual relations.
If you’re Russian. Individuals engaging in such propaganda can be fined 4,000 to 5,000 rubles (120-150 USD), public officials are subject to fines of 40,000 to 50,000 rubles (1,200-1,500 USD), and registered organizations can be either fined (800,000-1,000,000 rubles or 24,000-30,000 USD) or sanctioned to stop operations for 90 days. If you engage in the said propaganda in the media or on the internet, the sliding scale of fines shifts: for individuals, 50,000 to 100,000 rubles; for public officials, 100,000 to 200,000 rubles, and for organizations, from one million rubles or a 90-day suspension.
If you’re an alien. Foreign citizens or stateless persons engaging in propaganda are subject to a fine of 4,000 to 5,000 rubles, or they can be deported from the Russian Federation and/or serve 15 days in jail. If a foreigner uses the media or the internet to engage in propaganda, the fines increase to 50,000-100,000 rubles or a 15-day detention with subsequent deportation from Russia.
Basically it bans education of LGBT thus damaging young LGBT teens by making them feel even more isolated

there is no " anti-gay" law in Russia
there IS an antipropaganda law that gays are being arrested on because they won't stop pushing gay stuff in Russia.
