    Police were unable to find any evidence of LGBTQ+ propaganda at the event, which is considered an illegal activity in Russia.

    Is this the equivalent of being swatted?

    And apparently Russia changed My Little Pony’s content rating to 18+ in December, which seems insane. The “reason” is because there was one episode in a later season featuring a “lesbian couple” which was only confirmed by the show creators and never actually mentioned in the show itself. It’s like banning Harry Potter because J.K. Rowling said on Xitter that Dumbledore is gay.

      be me, Putin

      world’s most straight man who has definitely not done something as gay as riding a horse without a shirt

      put in anti-LGTBQ+ laws because I want Russia to be the most straight third-world country in the world

      life is good

      hear phone calling, it’s trump

      lmaoletsgo.jpg

      pick up phone to hear what nonsense trump has for me this time

      he starts going off about some fuckin kid’s show he’s been obsessed with, My Little Pony

      kindagay.png

      starts getting mad and raging about two lesbian horses in the show

      ohno.bmp

      hang up immediately and ask how many Russians watch this gay horse anime

      apparently tons of Russians pirate it from the US, as well as importing tons of toys and jars from other countries

      need to stop this somehow

      amazingdictator.exe

      send police to raid a My Little Pony convention since it’s filthy LGTBQ+ propaganda

      Russia is still straight for another day

      leave my office to fuck the femboy twink I hired nonstop for the next 24 hours (definitely not gay)

      Technically, it is confirmed, but it’s all in the background: once, one proposes to the other (and the other reciprocates), and another time we see a newspaper article about their marriage.

      This aside, f*ck this dumb law.

      I hate JKR as much as the next guy but dumbledore does come of as gay even in the books and that makes sense in the context.(I don’t mean the whole series just in the last ones last part but that too is older than the tweet i presume )

    It’s a law that is applied to anything that the regime wants to silence, not necessarily LGBTQ stuff. It was passed around the start of the war
