Putin Signs Gender Reassignment Ban Into Law - The Moscow Times
www.themoscowtimes.com
President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a controversial law that bans legal and surgical sex changes, a move that deprives transgender Russians of the right to access gender-affirming services.  The law, which makes "medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person" and "the state registration of a change of gender without an operation" illegal, was swiftly passed by both houses of the Russian parliament earlier this month.  The law also bans individuals who have undergone gender reassignment from adopting children and annuls marriages in which one of the partners is transgender.  It enters into force immediately upon its publishing on the government website.

      Yes.

      The Hungarian anti-LGBT law was made in response of financial troubles, labor safety issues, dismantling of the public education and healthcare system, record corruption, the Kaleta case (in which a Hungarian diplomat only received a pitiful fine for CSEM possession, while being in Peru), and the real threats children face from the low age of consent of 14.

      Yea think so. A society that always talks about the issues of the right, is a society where the right always wins.

      There is no “more important issue” than protecting fundamental human rights, including fundamental human rights of LGBTQ+ people.

      More like pulling this crap that would have people protesting in the streets in peacetime at wartime when people have bigger things to worry about.
