Hillary Clinton Ad Campaign Prompts 18+ Warning In Russia For Clip Of Gay Couple

(CBS SF) — A Russian TV channel slapped an 18+ age rating on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign video for featuring a gay couple.

A spokesperson for Dozhd TV, an independent Russian channel, told ABC 7 that it had decided to include the age warning to avoid falling out of line with the country’s “gay propaganda” law. Signed by President Vladimir Putin in 2013, the law bans public events and dissemination of information on the LGBT community to minors punishable by fines of up to $16,000.
