Is Vladimir Putin homophobic?
Personally, I think some of his policies demonstrate homophobia. But I'm curious, what are some of the policies that he's enacted that might be seen as anti-LGBTQ+?
Well, one example is Russia's "gay propaganda" law, which was signed by Putin in 2013. This law effectively prohibits the promotion of LGBTQ+ lifestyles, and has been widely criticized both in Russia and abroad. There have also been reports of violence and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in Russia, and some attribute this to the government's stance on the issue.
