Brussels, May 20: The European Union (EU) has appealed to Russia not to introduce a law banning so-called "gay propaganda".
Russia's lower house of parliament, the State Duma, intends to pass a law by the end of the current session (mid-July) banning dissemination of
information among minors promoting homosexuality.
Amendments will
be made May 26-27, after which a working group will compile the draft
law along with representatives of civil society and gay rights activists.
"The EU called on Russia to refrain from adopting federal legislation on 'homosexual
propaganda', which it believed could increase discrimination and
violence against LGBTI individuals," the EU said in a statement on its
website Sunday.
The statement referred to the results of a meeting May 17 in Brussels between Russian and EU diplomats on human rights issues.
