Not exactly, no. It does matter if it’s true or false. But it’s normal to loose details any time the story gets passed around, as long as the heart of the story remains true: LGBT propaganda is banned in Russia, Putin hates gay people and it enrages him that people would make a queer caricature of him, and people who don’t respect that end up having problem with the repressive state apparatus.
I’d rather stay with facts. The creater of this meme either made it from his memory which would lead to alternative facts or she didn’t care about sticking to her source. If she was aware of a source, she ignored the source.
There’s a difference in spreading facts. “Ukraine destroyed 1000 tanks” or “Ukraine destroyed 100 tanks”. The broader topic of the story remains true, Ukraine destroyed tanks, but it’s completely different for the outcome of a battle if you destroy 100 or 1000 tanks.
