Gay Marriage in Russia: Journalist Masha Gessen Shares Her Family’s Story
In Russia, there’s very little support for same sex marriage.
In fact, several Russian municipalities have passed “homosexual propaganda” laws banning any mention of same sex marriage in front of minors.

Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Gessen about how the laws have affected her family.
