Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law that expands an existing ban on promoting “LGBT propaganda” to children by prohibiting it among people of all ages. Under the new law, which Putin signed on November 5, any event or act regarded as an attempt to promote homosexuality — including online, in film, books, advertising or in public — could incur a heavy fine. Human rights defenders and activists working with LGBT+ groups believe that the new law will make it impossible for public organizations that help LGBT+ organizations to function.
