Russia's lower Parliamentary chamber, the State Duma, voted 397-1 on Wednesday to ban foreign nationals of countries that allow medical gender transitions, as well as gender changes on official government identification documents, to adopt Russian children.
The law, which has already been approved by the Kremlin but still needs to be passed by the upper chamber and signed by Pres. Vladimir Putin, will ban countries that allow "change of sex by medical intervention, including with the use of medicine."
