The girls were accused of “LGBT propaganda” for kissing in a bar

Administrative protocols were drawn up against two residents of Voronezh, 23 and 25 years old, for “LGBT propaganda” (Article 6.21 of the Administrative Code) for kissing in a bar. This was reported by Vesti Voronezh and noted by 7x7. The establishment itself was closed “for reconstruction.”

On March 3, a party was held at the Doski bar in Voronezh. One of the people there saw girls kissing on the sofa and filmed them on video, which was later distributed in local public pages. As Vesti writes, an indignant visitor to the event asked the girls to “stop immoral behavior.” In response, their friend called security.

The publication notes that an eyewitness wrote an appeal to the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, with a request to find the “violators” and conduct an investigation against them. He also demanded that the bar administration and security guards be held accountable for “inaction.” A few days later, the police began an investigation.

On May 3, the Doski bar announced it was closing for renovations. “We are starting the transformation process in order to continue to delight you in an updated format,” says the establishment’s message in the VKontakte group.

Earlier, in February, because of a kiss in a cafe, a report on “LGBT propaganda” was drawn up against two residents of Krasnodar. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs published a video with the girls’ apologies.

Last year, security forces in Sochi detained two girls who kissed on a bench. They were also reported for “LGBT propaganda,” which forced them to spend the night at the police station. One of the girls said that she and her friend were walking and drinking wine, and then kissed “for fun.” The security forces saw this.

Vladimir Putin signed a law banning “LGBT propaganda” in December 2022.
