Recently the Russian parliament passed a law further prohibiting any type of "LGBT propaganda". This includes "any action or information that is considered an attempt to promote homosexuality" in public, online, films, any print, or advertising. The law states punishment for this could include fines of $6,600 for individuals who violate the law & $82,000 for entities. Law enforcement will be able to 'interpret the law broadly' based on the situation due to how the law is written.
This all leads to the question of how will this effect webcam studios who are employing camguys & independent camguys too? Many camguys from Russia have already dealt with backlash due to the war in Ukraine & conscription recently led hundreds more to flee their home country. If all this wasn't bad enough now those who remain will have something else to worry about including large fines & lengthy prison sentences based on a broadly written law.
Russia's parliament approved a bill that widens a prohibition of 'LGBT propaganda' and restricts the 'demonstration' of LGBT behavior, making any expression of an LGBT lifestyle almost impossible https://t.co/HnxFtWztI5 pic.twitter.com/NUiQBbTKme
