A new law on "LGBT propaganda" has been passed in Russia. Books, podcasts, films, or any products with “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations and gender reassignment” are now banned in Russia. SBS Russian discussed the new law with LGBTQ+ representatives, with those who left Russia and those who decided to stay.
