A Russian television station has slapped former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s first campaign ad with a mature-audience-only rating.
Two men seen holding hands in Mrs. Clinton’s “Getting Started” campaign commercial has riled up executives for Russia’s TV Rain channel, CNN reported Tuesday. A screenshot of the YouTube video indicates it is intended for only older than 18.
A Russian law signed by President Vladimir Putin in 2013 bans “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations around minors,” CNN reported.

When asked about the rating on Mrs. Clinton’s campaign ad, a representative for the Russian station told CNN: “There are no legal precedents for this law, so we just don’t know what comes under this law and [what] doesn’t. Therefore, fearing to break the law — especially given the high attention to TV Rain from the supervising authorities — we decided to put a marker [on the video].”
