Russia failing big time.

Medvedev and Putin's party is pushing a law to vote this week that would make any mention of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender issues illegal.
The bill, which has now been scheduled for a vote on November 30, would criminalize any book, article or speech about sexual identity and gender orientation, labeling it "homosexual propaganda."
I've emailed the BBC asking why the lack of coverage there and signed on the website, where they are trying to get 250,000 people to support the campaign to the this noticed and Russia not to pass such an awful piece of legislation.
I don't normal post asking people to pass information on, but this is important. It may seem like it's something that's happening far away, but this is people's lives that are being erased and the world should know about this.
