It is official now: Russia's Supreme Court declared "extremist" and banned the "LGBT movement".

A single display of LGBT flag, offline or online, is punishable by a fine.
In case of multiple offenses, the punishment is up to 4 years in prison.
Activism, online or offline, and potentially donations to LGBT charities, are punished by up to 6 years in prison.
Allies of LGBT activism are now legally banned from elections.

And there is a new law coming up, "justification" of "extremism" online (as in, not denouncing), punishing it by a prison sentence of up to five years.

@nina_kali_nina Can you post the original site or the source of this? Its really bad they do that! But i wanna check the original source of this information, preferably a link to the original declation of the supreme court. Today fake news and misinformation are as terrible as the attack on human rights and LGBT. Thanks a lot.

@chiraag @nina_kali_nina Thanks a lot. I've just received another link, wich i prefer most, since USA newspapers are full of propaganda against Russia and China. But in this case, Russia have to stop. Is a direct attack on Human Rights.

@3PlayerPolitics @chiraag @nina_kali_nina Sorry, you are right. My mistake. But UK newspapers also spread propaganda against Russia and China, so its the same.
