Russian court restricts St. Petersburg's gay propaganda law

Today, Russia’s Supreme Court has upheld the gay propaganda ban passed in St. Petersburg earlier this year. However, it clarified that the law can only be applied to direct appeals to minors to engage in homosexual activity.
The ruling means that pride parades and LGBT rallies are legal. The ruling also means that information about homosexuality can still be provided to minors as long as it is "neutral" in tone. That can provide a lot of confusion.
There has been a huge worldwide backlash against St. Petersburg's law this year. International figures such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Madonna have vocally condemned the law. Those who have protested the law in St. Petersburg have been arrested and/or beaten by the local police. Today's Supreme Court decision is a start, but let's hope the St. Petersburg law is completely repealed soon.
