I have already written a couple of posts about what is going on in St. Petersburg and what this propaganda law is about. Well, it did come into force and now we have the first guy (a hardcore lgbtq campaigner) to be convicted of ‘gay propaganda’.
According to the report of the AP, Nikolai Alekseev was said to have been fined 5,000 roubles, just over £100, by a court in Russia’s second city for the promotion of homosexuality among minors... So, what did he do? As the news and the article by PinkNews (link here) highlight, Alekseev had held up a sign reading “Homosexuality is not a perversion” outside the Smolny Institute in April in public view. Shame on him, nah?!
