Hillary Clinton’s campaign video carries warning stamp on Russian TV channel
A Russian TV channel aired Hillary Clinton's first campaign video with a rating stamp that means it's for mature audiences, because of fears it might run afoul of the country's anti-gay propaganda law.
This week Hillary Clinton launched her candidacy as the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016.
She did a somewhat unusually video – only after eighteen minutes, the main character herself appeared.
A clip of the video, which features a gay couple holding hands, got the 18+ rating from the independent TV Rain channel in Russia on Monday.
The channel told CNN that it didn’t want to break the controversial law, which bans “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations around minors” and bars public discussion of gay rights and relationships within earshot of children.
“There are no legal precedents for this law, so we just don’t know what comes under this law and (what) doesn’t,” a TV Rain spokesperson told CNN.
