Gay marriage proponents fear result of Russian referendum

Issued on: 01/07/2020

A prohibition on same-sex marriage is one of several measures Russians are voting on today under a controversial referendum that could also extend the rule of President Vladimir Putin until 2036. Mikhail Tumasov, a Russian LGBT activist living in exile, says LGBT networks encouraged people to turn out to vote no, and fears than any actions to promote same-sex marriage could soon be deemed anti-constitutional.
