Russia: adopted children removed from gay fathers
This month it got even worse: Commission authorities tried to search the apartment of the father and that of their immediate family. Authorities eventually kicked in the doors of the two men and one of their brothers.
Since their children were taken away, the couple has received legal help from two local LGBTQ organizations, Stimul and Coming Out. A Stimul spokesperson is concerned that the 2013 federal law will be used to cancel adoptions and separate even more same-sex families.
