If I was growing up in Moscow now I would have never had my two favourite toy ponies. One was pink with a rainbow mane and crystals for eyes and the other one was purple and just as pretty. They were both girls. They loved each other. And I told everyone they were gay.

I didn't exactly know what it meant because I remember going around saying that not only my ponies were gay because they were girls and were in love, but I was too because I loved my sister (that's just illegal). However, that's not the point. The point is that if I was growing up now, I would of never heard that word used in any context.

I don't know how dangerous it actually is to teach children about homosexuality just yet but recently, a law has been passed that prohibits any sort of equality education. It goes so far as to say 'any foreigner mentioning homosexuality could be deported and fined'.

God knows what would happen to a poor child whose ponies are gay. For all we know, they will be taken away and to be honest that's probably the worst that could happen to you when you are 3.

It's pretty unbelievable to hear about this but then again, I expect even more to come.

If you are with me, and you want this to stop, please sign this petition.
