    It’s a further attack against LGBTQ rights in Russia.

    Russia continued its lurch to the right on Wednesday as the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, voted to ban legal and medical gender reassignment.

    Russia adopted its first legislation restricting LGBTQ rights in 2013, emphasizing its hostility to the depiction of “Nontraditional sexual relations” to minors.
