Russian parliament delays anti-LGBT adoption bill

A bill before Russia's Duma that would remove children of LGBT parents from their families has reportedly been withdrawn pending unspecified changes from its author. 

Observers speculate that the bill was withdrawn to deflect attention from the country's anti-LGBT laws ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The bill is supported by President Vladimir Putin. - via Advocate.com
