Russia proposes to expand law to ban propaganda of all sex to minors

MOSCOW, January 28, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Russian government has outflanked opponents from the homosexualist lobby furious over the prohibition on promoting the “gay lifestyle” by proposing to expand the law to include promotion to children of any sexual activity outside natural marriage. The existing law makes it a crime to promote “non-traditional” homosexual relations to children and young people under 18.
