Russia bans ‘international LGBT movement’ for ‘extremism’

Russia’s supreme court bans the “international LGBT movement,” claiming the organization is an extremist group, without stating whether specific individuals or organizations in Russia will be impacted by the ruling.

The judge rules to “recognize the international LGBT public movement and its subdivisions as an extremist organization and ban its activities on the territory of Russia.”
