Russia’s upper house of parliament on Wednesday endorsed a bill banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transitioning is legal.

The Federation Council also approved bills that outlaw the spread of material that encourages people not to have children.

The bills, which have previously been approved by the lower house, will now go to President Vladimir Putin for signing into law. They follow a series of laws that have suppressed sexual minorities and bolstered longstanding conventional values.

    Yeah but russia isn’t allowing adoptions anywhere for years now. I know because I was in the process of adopting and the agencies told me to forget about russia. They will gladly accept your money for the kid’s living expenses and documents, but then don’t allow the kid out of the country…

      Of course not; they need to replace all that population they’re feeding to the meat grinder.
