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.

    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.
