On December 19, 2012, the State Duma is going to pass a
bill targeted against a part of our society, namely, people
belonging to the LGBT community (Lesbian - Gay - Bisexual
- Transgender) under the pretext of taking care of children
who for some reason should not know about people with other
view points and habits.
In the West and other parts of the world the states have
ceased to look under their citizens’ blankets prescribing
how and with whom they should have sex. Moreover, many countries
have legalised gay marriages, and even adoption of children
by such couples.
This shameful law against different people disseminating
hatred and ousting part of our compatriots into ghettos is
virtually accusing them of inferiority. The adoption of such
a law means returning of the Soviet law on "sodomy"
envisaging criminal prosecution or even refers to the Nazis’
"final solution of the problem" of homosexuality
in gas cameras.
The Gender Faction of the YABLOKO party demands abolishing
of this disgraceful law if we have a "democratic state"
"recognising and guaranteeing human and civil rights
and freedoms," as is envisaged by the Constitution of
the Russian Federation.
Galina Mikhalyova,
Chair of YABLOKO’s Gender Faction
