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.

    Sounds plausible but it also a very “long” game, taking at least one additional generation into their teenage years. I guess there are some of them thinking on that level but I have the feeling that the average fascist doesn’t plan ahead very far or at has at least a very distorted time perception (e.g. they feel like the white “race” being replaced fearmongering is an urgent topic).
