A Russian lawmaker has introduced a bill that would allow the state to remove children from homes headed by LGBT parents. According to the Associated Press, the draft bill was published on the Russian parliament’s website Thursday morning and proposed to make the “fact of nontraditional sexual orientation” grounds for removing or denying parental custody rights.

The bill, if passed, would add sexual orientation to a list of disqualifying factors that includes alcoholism, drug addiction and a history of child abuse. Bill author Alexei Zhuravlev said that the law would be a natural extension of a law passed earlier this year that bans so-called “homosexual propaganda,” i.e., any expression of sexuality or affection that deviates from the supposedly “traditional” heterosexual norm.

If “propaganda” is to be banished in the public sphere, said Zhuravlev, it should be banned “also in the family.”
