A Russian magazine editor claims his publisher demanded he censor a book that mentions homosexuality in animals because it violates the country’s “LGBT propaganda” law.
Viktor Kovylin, editor of the scientific journal Batrachospermum, wrote on Telegram that his publisher told him the descriptions of same-sex behavior in a book on animal sexual behavior were against the law because they did not express “disgust or criticism” for the acts.
“Apparently, neutral scientific descriptions of homosexual behavior, without disgust or criticism, now fall under the category of propaganda for non-traditional relationships!” Kovylin wrote on Telegram, according to a translation.
Observing reality violates russian law.
It is called the russian uncertainty principle. You can either observe the sexual behaviour of animals precisely or have precisely defined ideals but not both at the same time.
wanna bet a bunch of other countries are working on the same kind of “law”?
“Male penguins may exhibit homosexual behavior. However, as the author, I would like to make it clear I would NEVER have gay sex with a male penguin. That’s gross. I would only ever have sex with a woman penguin, as Putin would want.”
“Penguins are part of a interspecies conspiracy to undermine traditional family values™, if you see a penguin, arrest it.”
Professional scientific journal: Here we see a pair of male penguins engaged in sexual behavior. They are icky.
They are icky [1].

Yeah those are some dirty penguins!
“Penguins can be, and often are, homosexual. Gross.”
Kremlin approved!
No homo 🤠
This is exactly what conservatives want in America.
It’s shocking that it’s not 1950 with some of the news we have these days.
TOTALLY NORMAL RESPONSE TO THR NATURAL WORLD I’m a Russian immigrant in Canada, I moved with my family when I was 8 Its fucking embarassing to see how the place of my origin is going backwards in time Some creatures are gay a.f. get the hell over it As this point in time, the more I see the government fighting against the “gay agenda” the more I think Putin is just repressed as hell and wants a boyfriend so bad, but he caaant so no one can either >:| Also; when I lived there, I had a crush on a girl, my sister is Bi and sometimes; my dad says very homo erotic things without noticing, pretty sure he’s bi too Didn’t need the west corrupting me to turn out queer >:3
Hey, another Russian immigrant in Canada! I feel embarrassed as well. The West didn’t turn me Bi, cute goth girls did. Although you can blame Xena a little bit.
Xena and Sailor Moon coming out in the same time frame was crazy work
I moved to the US from China when I was around 8, my family is so fucking backwards and ableist but luckily I didn’t get born into the millions of other families that got stuck in China and their shitty abelism that discriminates against… check notes depression… like jesus christ.
If I were to dress up as a girl, I’m pretty sure my mom would disown me for being “mentally ill”
I know the US Government doesn’t exactly have a great reputation, but the people are very progressive and more accepting of LgBT and more mental health aware than China is… in China they literally kicked out an accepted University student because they later discovered his autism diagnosis… jesus christ.
I’d rather have my kids/friends be gay than being sent to the frontlines to die like a bug for some demented fool.
I’d rather have a gay parade pass by my door every day than have crazy criminal conscripts with PTSD running around free in my neighbourhood.
You don’t even have to be a liberal to recognize this.
I mean, a gay parade would be nice anyway, regardless.
This is an opportunity to maliciously comply with the minimum most sarcastic but not super obviously sarcastic disgust possible
facts facts, facts facts facts, ewwww this is yuckyyyyyy facts facts facts facts
Why -again- this obsessive need to know what people do with their peepees?
I am bi. Not that it matters, not that anyone needs to know, but I like more toys than you do, basically. Is that it? Jealousy? You want to play withy toys? I mean, I’d let you if you ask but… You know…
But alas, I know the answer, I know it’s religion, and how it’s always used to control the masses which mostly are simple minds.
I’m not trying to appear better, I’m not better than anyone else, but at least I’m an atheist and proud of it. Fuck your sick Bible stories and fuck your fairytale religions too.
I am expecting malicious compliance. “That disgusting member, oozing with precious bodily fluids…thirty inches, that corkscrews deep into the warm depths of the…”
If they are demanding displays of contempt, they should make it mandatory for all articles.
“This article concerns birds. Disgusting. I still cannot believe how low the once mighty dinosaurs have fallen.”
Or:
“This article concerns snakes. I’m sorry, but I refuse to take legless creatures seriously.”
“Here we see a pair of penguins displaying homoerotic displays of sexuality and affection.
Filthy nasty behaviour, and so naughty too. Look at em, they indulge in it like it’s the best thing ever. I mean I know I would being a penguin and all…”
Old white men with power are weirdos who ruin everything
There just has to be some fun examples of them maliciously complying with this requirement. Or is that a risky thing to do there?
Stories like this are why I chuckle at the “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” memes that are running rampant this morning.
It’s like no one’s looked out their window recently or ever cracked open a history book.
