A Russian video aimed at encouraging people to vote for President has warned that people could be forced to take gay people into their homes if they don’t vote.
The advert, uploaded to YouTube ahead of the presidential election next month was posted with the caption: “What will happen after March 18, 2018?”
The video opens with footage of a man dismissing his wife’s concern about remembering to wake up to vote the next day, saying: “As if they won’t elect someone without you.”
In his dream, he is then woken up by three military officers, who inform him that compulsory military service has been expanded from the age of 27 to now include 60-year-olds.
Dismissing the army officers at the door, the man then goes into his kitchen to discover a stereotypically gay man filing his nails with a rainbow coloured emery board.
The man questions the man and asks his wife why he is in his house, to which the gay man replies: “I’m a gay on a homestay.”
His wife then informs him that under a new law, Russian families are forced to take in gay people who have been abandoned by their partners or families.
She adds: “If he can’t find anyone, you will have to be his partner.”
The tattooed gay man then provocatively eats a banana, adding to the man’s shock and horror.
