A Russian prosecutor is lashing out at fashion brand Dolce and Gabbana

The prosecutor has called for Dolce & Gabbana’s Instagram advertisements showing same-sex couples kissing to be banned in the country.

It follows a complaint from a lawmaker being made against the Italian fashion brand.

The two short videos were part of the Italian fashion house’s global “Love is Love” campaign, ahead of Valentine’s Day.

A screenshot taken on May 24, 2021 shows a Dolce & Gabbana displayed on Instagram depicting a same-sex couple kissing.

Same-sex relationships are legal in Russia, but a 2013 law bans disseminating “propaganda on non-traditional sexual relations” among young Russians.

Human rights groups have condemned the legislation, saying it has helped increase social normality towards same-sex couples.
