Vladimir Putin Wants to Ban Gay Emojis
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has placed strict rules on all gay propaganda, and Apple products arent getting a free pass. Russian media watchdog Roskomnadzor claims that an investigation into LGBT emojis has already been set into place. Maxim Ksenzov Mikhael Marchenko, deputy head of Roskomnadzor claims they gay emojis are infultrating the youth, he states “the spread on social media of untraditional sexual relations among minors” that “denies family values” and “forms disrespect for parents and other family members.” Does this mean Apple products may eventually be banned from Russia? I guess we will see what happens.
