In protest of Russia's gay propaganda law, people have been using a picture of the president "wearing makeup" to present him as a gay man. Although the pictures have been floating around for a while now, recently Russia has banned the spread of these images because they consider them, "extremist materials".. Those who post or share the photos anywhere will be sent to prison for 15 days or have to pay a fee. Russia's harsh laws, ban people from even discussing hay rights because they're afraid children will hear of these "non traditional sexual relations".
I remember doing a current event on Russia banning people from seeing beauty and the beast because it shows a "gay character". Now I'm seeing this and it just makes me realize even more how wrong these laws are. I can't imagine living in a country where someone doesn't let me post or talk about something just because the government doesn't agree. I'm also worried that all of these cruel opinions towards love between the same gender is gong to ruin their generations to come. Kids won't know that this is wrong and they will only learn one way instead of being able to learn and feel for themselves. It scares me to think that this whole country could one day be ruined by views like this. I hope someone else will come into power and fix all of these issues with care.
