A court in Moscow fined a Russian Anglican Christian three weeks’ average local wage on 18 November under Russia’s “gay propaganda” law for sharing materials from the Vatican and the Scottish Episcopal Church on social media. Police based the case on three posts which Marina P. made in April and May 2024: one which linked to the Vatican’s Dignitas Infinita declaration of April 2024, which condemned “unjust discrimination” on the basis of sexual orientation, another which linked to a Scottish Episcopal Church essay on equal marriage, and a third which noted the recent appointment of a priest in a same-sex marriage to a new role in Edinburgh.
