Russia: Social Media Site Rejects Gay Relationships - Purple Unions
You probably won?t ?like? this: Russian social media giant VKontatke has rejected requests to include same-sex couples in their relationship descriptions.
Radio Free Europe reports:
The controversy erupted after a male VKontake user who identified himself only as Oleg wrote to the network?s administrators for help after being unable to select the option ?I have a boyfriend? in the section describing his relationship status.
He was reportedly told that gay marriages were banned in Russia and advised to ?change sex? online. The administrator went on to wish him a ?wonderful mood,? according to press reports.
