As the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) joins the Russian LGBT community and others across the globe in the fight to expose and repeal Russia's recently-enacted "anti-propaganda" law. We will not sit quietly as the Russian Government charts a path that puts LGBT Russians in harm’s way. HRC will harness the energy of our members and supports, and all fair-minded Americans, to bring justice to Russia’s LGBT community.
