Russia’s Daria Kasatkina was knocked out of the French Open semi-finals this year
MOSCOW: Russian world number 12 Daria Kasatkina criticised her country’s attitude towards homosexuality in a video published on Monday as she announced she was a lesbian.
The 25-year-old’s comments come after Russian deputies proposed on Monday a new law which would ban information on all non-traditional sexual relationships in the public sphere.
Broadcasting homosexual “propaganda” to youngsters has been banned in the country since 2013.
“There are many subjects that are even more important than it that are banned, so it’s no surprise,” she told Vitya Kravchenko’s YouTube channel.
