Moscow court bans website with LGBT fanfiction

The Cheryomushkinsky court of Moscow has blocked a website with LGBT fanfiction (the movement is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) - amateur works that described romantic and sexual relationships of characters of the same sex. This is stated in the materials that Izvestia reviewed on June 11.

The court noted that the selection of works posted on the resource popularizes the idea of such relationships and can negatively affect teenagers.

"Such literature is aimed at changing the perception of the institution of the family and traditional values," the resolution emphasized.

The press service noted that the court examined the materials on six Internet links and concluded that there were signs of destructive ideology and propaganda of LGBT people in the films.
