The Supreme Court has declared the LGBT Movement an extremist organization and banned its activities in the Russian Federation. 

This was reported by the LGBT publication "Guys+The hearing was held behind closed doors without the defendant's participation—only a representative of the Ministry of Justice attended. The day before, on November 29, LGBT activists had created the "International LGBT Public Movement" to defend their interests in court, but they were denied access to the case. Journalists who came to cover the hearing were barred from the courtroom—the case was being heard under the "secret" classification. 

Extremist status will ban the display of LGBT-related symbols. Those deemed members of the "LGBT movement" could be fined and sentenced to six years in prison.
