Russia approves law banning non-traditional sexual relations among adults

The legislation still needs to be backed by the upper house and Putin before becoming law, but those steps are seen as a formality.

Russian lawmakers unanimously approved a bill banning all forms of LGBTQ "propaganda" in a final reading Thursday, as Moscow presses ahead with its conservative drive at home while its troops fight in Ukraine.
Activists said the new legislation ramps up the crackdown on "non-traditional" sexual relationships in Russia, affecting everything from books and films to social media posts. They have vowed to keep fighting for the rights of minorities.
President Vladimir Putin has sought to promote his country as the antithesis of Western liberal values, pushing an increasingly conservative agenda to rally his core constituency amid heightened tension with the world's top democracies.

Moscow already has a law against "propaganda" directed at minors regarding LGBTQ relationships. The new bill would broaden that rule to adults.
The legislation passed by the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, on Thursday bars all mention of what authorities deem "gay propaganda" in media, cinema, books and advertisements.
It also prohibits "the propaganda of paedophilia and sex change".
"Any propaganda of non-traditional relationships will have consequences," the speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said on social media.
The bill "will protect our children and the future of our country from the darkness spread by the US and European states", he added.
The legislation still needs to be backed by the upper house and Putin before becoming law, but those steps are seen as a formality.
The bill introduces fines of up to 10 million rubles ($165,400) for people who ignore the new ban.

In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court of India reportedly held that families can be in the form of "domestic, unmarried partnerships" and "queer relationships". The apex court ruled that "atypical" manifestations of family units are as real as their traditional counterparts, and deserve protection under law.
The observations were part of a judgment which said that a working woman cannot be denied maternity leave for her biological child simply because her husband has two children from a previous marriage and she had availed the leave to take care of one of them.
The court said that many families do not conform to legal and societal expectations of a single, unchanging unit with a mother, a father, and children.
The ruling comes amid a continuing push for legal recognition of LGBT marriages and civil unions, as well as permission for live-in couples to adopt children. The Supreme Court had decriminalised homosexuality in India in 2018.

A diplomatic row has broken out between the UK and Indonesia over a flag hoisted at the British embassy in Jakarta.
On May 17, a rainbow LGBT flag was hoisted alongside the national flag at the British embassy in the Muslim-majority nation. It was to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
Posting the flag's photos on social media, the embassy had written, "Sometimes it is important to take a stand for what you think is right, even if disagreement between friends can be uncomfortable."
But the move did not go down well with the host country. The Indonesian government summoned the British envoy as Islamic conservatives in the country cried foul. Britain was asked by Indonesia to be respectful of local "sensitivities on matters relevant to culture, religion, and belief".
Homosexuality is legal in Indonesia except in the sharia-ruled province of Aceh. However, growing influence of Islamic conservatives in the world's largest Muslim-majority country is reinforcing the social taboo surrounding homosexuality.

English footballer Jake Daniels is the first openly gay footballer in the UK since 1990. His announcement is now a significant trailblazing moment for the European football as the 17-year-old revealed the news. The&nbsp;17-year-old who plays for 2nd decision side Blackpool in English football just finished his debut season.

Jake in a statement said, "This season has been a fantastic one for me on the pitch.&nbsp;But off the pitch I've been hiding the real me and who I really am. I've known my whole life that I'm gay, and I now feel that I'm ready to come out and be myself."
While women's football has several &nbsp;LGBTQ+ players, the men's game lacks players who are publicly gay. Daniels said he was inspired by Josh Cavallo of Australian football team Adelaide United who is the only openly gay man currently playing in a top division football team across the world.&nbsp;
While the move attracted a lot of trolls on social media, the English Football Association or the FA came out in support of the 17-year-old, &ldquo;This is a hugely positive step as we strive to build an inclusive game that we can all be proud of,&rdquo; the governing body tweeted. Jake's teammates&nbsp;at Blackpool are also backing the footballer and have promised to continue their support for the young star.&nbsp;&nbsp;
