The council sent a letter to the State Duma demanding to withdraw from consideration bills related to discrimination against the LGBT community. The initiator of the statement was the municipal deputy Sergei Troshin. About it informs project “Guys+”.
According to the authors of the letter, the adoption of the law against “LGBT propaganda” will lead to an increase in violence against LGBT people.
“Obviously, our country is passing a discriminatory homophobic law that violates human rights. Therefore, I considered it important that the Human Rights Council express its position and support LGBT people in Russia. Many say that such statements do not change anything, but I believe that for LGBT people who are in a homophobic society, such public support in the form of such statements is like such a “beam of light in the dark kingdom,” Troshin said.
