Vladimir Putin's Stance on LGBTQ Issues

Under President Vladimir Putinโ€™s leadership, Russia has implemented a series of laws and policies that have severely restricted the rights and freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community. Here are some key developments:

 

2013: โ€œGay Propagandaโ€ Law: Putin signed a federal ban on the distribution of โ€œpropaganda about nontraditional sexual relationshipsโ€ to minors, effectively criminalizing any positive or neutral expression of LGBTQ+ identity in Russia that could be viewed or heard by children.

2019: Constitutional Amendments: Putin signed a package of constitutional amendments that formally define marriage as between a man and a woman, effectively banning same-sex marriage in Russia.

2021: Ban on Same-Sex Marriages: Putin signed a law that prohibits same-sex marriages, citing the constitutional amendments as justification.

2022-2024: Expansion of โ€œLGBT Propagandaโ€ Restrictions: Putin signed laws expanding restrictions on the promotion of what Russia calls โ€œLGBT propaganda,โ€ effectively outlawing any public expression of LGBTQ+ behavior or lifestyle in Russia.

2024: Arrests and Prosecutions: The first arrests under the new anti-LGBT laws have been reported, marking a new era of repression against the LGBTQ+ community in Russia.
