Russia's new anti-gay laws bands the distribution of "nontraditional" sexual relations to minors. The law will fine anyone who promotes gay activity. The law also does not say anything about not allowing decriminalization or prohibiting acts of violence to the LGBT community. Many people in the more conservatives parts of Russia have used the law to justify their acts of violence. The region of Zabaikalsk passed a law that allowed public humiliation and torture of gay people. Around the nation homo phobics have tried to lure in the LGBT community to humiliate them, even going as far as pouring urine on to them. Recent research after the law was passed showed the suicide rate in the LGBT youth group was much more higher then any other group. Alot more youth is more scared of "coming" out to their parents then years before.
