Bullet points of Russian parliament passes first reading of an adoption ban for countries allowing gender transition
- The Russian parliament's lower house approved a bill to prohibit Russian children from being adopted by citizens of countries where gender transitioning is legal.
- The bill aims to 'protect childhood and traditional values' and would affect citizens of dozens of countries.
- Russia's Supreme Court outlawed the LGBTQ movement as extremist last year, and a law prohibiting the distribution of LGBTQ information to people of all ages was signed in 2022.
- The Duma is also considering draft bills to outlaw spreading information about voluntarily choosing not to have children.
- Putin has made statements advocating large families, urging women to have as many as eight children, amid Russia's declining population.
- The move follows a series of laws and rulings that clamp down on sexual minorities, with Putin and other officials calling for 'traditional values' as a counter to Western liberalism.
