Putin bans same-sex marriage and transgender adoption

Apr 12 2021

The Russian President Vladimir Putin has banned same-sex marriage and transgender adoption. This huge blow for LGBTQ+ rights was health when Putin changed several constitutions on a number of issues this week. This decision follows a referendum in which 77% of people in Russia voted in favour of this ban in July 2020.

Same-sex marriages will thus not be able to get legally married in Russia, with transgender members being unable to adopt. The constitution change also includes a reset on Putin’s limits as president, giving him the possibility of serving an extra two six-year terms despite his current term ending in 2024.
