The law, introduced in 2013, was passed by Russian lawmakers “for the purpose of protecting children from information advocating for a denial of traditional family values.”

Russian publication 29 reports that a complaint was lodged with Russian authorities, saying the advertisement contains “elements of propaganda of homosexuality and paedophilia.”

The campaign video for Calvin Klein’s new scent ‘ck2’ features a number of couples, two of which are comprised of same-sex partners with the slogan, “A new scent for the two of us.”

Russian authorities have not yet responded to the advertisement.
