Russian President Vladimir Putin has directed Russia's sexologists to help gay folks overcome what he calls the “mental disorder” of same-sex sexual attraction.
Putin directed sex experts to help folks overcome “non-standard preferences” which include homosexuality, bestiality, and autoeroticism among others. The new directive took effect July 1.
Putin also ordered the Ministry of Health to create an institute to study homosexuals at the Serbsky Center for Psychiatry and Narcology, according to istories.
With its actions, Russia is reversing its own 1999 decision removing same-sex sexual attraction from the list of mental disorders.
In addition, last December, Putin signed a law strengthening a ban on LGBTQ propaganda in Russia and making it illegal to promote same-sex sexual relations or suggest non-heterosexual attractions are normal.
