'It's A Witch Hunt': Proposal To Confiscate Children Stokes Fear Among Russian LGBTs

[William769]

When Sasha understood that she was a lesbian, she knew many challenges lay ahead for her in Russia.

But nothing prepared the young woman for the possibility of social services taking her child away.

A new bill, however, could soon make this a reality for the estimated 2 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Russians who the authorities believe are raising children.

"I'm scared," says Sasha, who lives in St. Petersburg with her longtime partner, Marina, and Marina's 3-year-old biological son. "I'm scared our family will be violated."
