Moscow To Consider Anti-Gay Propaganda Bill | Moscow, Russia may follow St. Petersburg’s lead and pass a law prohibiting so-called “gay propaganda.” Yesterday, the Moscow City Legislature announced it will hold a “roundtable” discussion about enacting a similar ban with representatives “from the legislatures of the Kostroma and Archangelsk regions, as well as the city of St. Petersburg” — areas that already have anti-homosexual laws in effect. A similar measure was introduced into Russia’s lower house of Parliament last month.
