- LGBT_rights_in_Russia abstract "Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people's rights in Russia face legal and social challenges as well as discrimination not experienced by non-LGBT people. Although same-sex sexual activity between consenting adults in private was decriminalized in 1993, there are currently no laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, and households headed by same-sex couples are ineligible for the legal protections available to opposite-sex couples. The age of consent has been the same for same-sex relations as for heterosexual relations since 2003, and homosexuality was declassified as a mental illness in 1999. Transsexuals have been able to change their legal gender since 1997.Russia is socially conservative on LGBT rights, with 2013 polls indicating a large majority of Russians oppose legal recognition of same-sex marriage and support laws discriminating against LGBT people. Larger cities such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg have been described as being more tolerant and accepting, and have been known to have thriving LGBT communities. However, there has been historic resistance to gay pride parades by local governments, many of whom denying permission for them to be held by claiming a risk of violence—Russia was fined by the European Court of Human Rights in 2010 after they interpreted these patterns as a form of discrimination. Despite this, in 2012, the city of Moscow still denied 100 individual requests for permission to hold Moscow Pride from 2012 to 2112, citing similar reasoningSince 2006, several Russian regions also enacted laws banning the promotion of homosexual relationships to minors; in June 2013, Russia received international criticism for enacting a wider, federal law banning the distribution of "propaganda" in support of "non-traditional sexual relationships" to minors as an amendment to an existing child protection law. Human rights observers, LGBT activists, and international media disputed its stated purpose of protecting children, and traditional family values, criticizing the law for being a de facto criminalization of LGBT culture, as well as the efforts for LGBT rights, with some noting that even displaying LGBT symbols in public was made illegal by this legislation, which subsequent arrests bore out. They also reported a surge in anti-LGBT rhetoric, violence, and hate crimes, many of which using the law as justification. A number of LGBT rights protesters have also been arrested under the lawInternational rights groups have described the current situation as the worst human rights climate in the post-Soviet era, while Russian historian, and human rights activist Lyudmila Alexeyeva called the anti-propaganda law "a step toward the Middle Ages." Britain's Channel 4 produced a documentary, Hunted, about life for LGBT people under the new law, showing how it legitimized vigilante groups who hunt and abuse LGBT people, especially young gay men, in "a wave of terror." Since the law was enacted, Russian LGBT people seeking asylum in the U.S. has spiked fourfold. In addition to activists, leaders of foreign governments have condemned the law, as have 27 Nobel prize winners from the fields of science and the arts.".
