The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday ruled that Russia’s “gay propaganda” law is discriminatory and encourages homophobia.
The Strasbourg judges said Russia had discriminated against three gay rights activists who opposed the law.
The BBC reports that the law was adopted in 2013, banning promotion of homosexuality among people under 18.
“The law reinforced stigma and prejudice and encouraged homophobia,” the court ruled.
