Hillary Clinton's 'Everyday Americans' video has been given an 18 rating by a Russian television network - because it features two men holding hands. Dozhd TV, an independent network, fears the video launching Clinton's White House bid may fall foul of Putin's 'gay propaganda' laws - which allows the imposition heavy fines for promoting homosexuality to people under the age of 18. Clinton's video not only features Democrat campaigners Jared Milrad and Nate Johnson, from Chicago, Illinois, holding hands, but talking about their up-coming wedding. Restricted: A Russian television network has given Hillary Clinton's video an 18 rating because it features a gay couple, who are planning a summer wedding, holding hands . Equality: Jared Milrad (pictured right) and his fiancé Nate Johnson, were delighted to be included in the video, saying it showed off the changing attitudes of the U.S. Milrad's voice is heard in a voiceover saying: 'I’m getting married this summer to someone I really care about.' The inclusion of the segment has won widespread support, and highlights Clinton's own stand on equality. Milrad himself has said he  was overjoyed to be part of the Clinton roll out - and part of a large-scale change in U.S. social attitudes. 'It shows how far we've come,' said Milrad, a 31-year-old lawyer and social activist, pleased that public support for same-sex marriage rights has grown so far as to appear in a presidential campaign launch. But it is at odds with Russia's view on LGBT rights, which have become increasingly restrictive during Vladimir Putin's presidency. However, Dozhd, an opposition network, told ABC News it had acted before being instructed by the Russian government. If they had aired it without the warning, the company could have faced a fine of as much as £13,200 under 2013's gay propaganda laws. Dozhd is not the only company to take preemptive action like this: in March, Ikea pulled its online magazine IKEA Family Live, which 'demonstrates various aspects of home life regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation'. The Swedish retailer decided to remove it as there was a risk 'some material in our magazine can be considered as propaganda'. Backwards: But while the U.S. may be becoming more inclusive, Russia has recently been putting in place more repressive laws as the government becomes increasingly anti LGBT rights . Fine: Opposition television network Dozhd decided to give it the rating to avoid getting a £13,200 fine . Differing views: Putin (left) and Clinton (right) are on other sides of the divide when it comes to LGBT rights - with the former First Lady being a staunch supporter of equality . But it is not just the U.S. and Russia as countries which are at odds with each other: Putin and Clinton hold very differing views personally as well. Speaking in 2014, Putin claimed there was a need to 'clean up' homosexuality in Russian order to drive up the country's birth rate, and defended the country's right to pass such a law. The Russian leader - who claims he has gay friends - has gone as far as to link gay people to pedophiles in the past. Meanwhile, the same year Putin signed the gay propaganda law into being, Secretary of State Clinton had publicly come out in support of gay marriage. 'LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers, our friends, our loved ones, and they are full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship- that includes marriage,' she said in the video. 'I support it personally and as a matter of policy and law. 'Like so many others, my personal views have been shaped over time by people I have known and loved, by my experience representing our nation on the world's stage, my devotion to law and human rights, and the guiding principles of my faith.' Clinton also has a lot of support within the LGBT community, with the nation's largest lesbian political action committee launching Lesbians4Hillary to support her bid for the White House. Lesbians4Hillary, co-chaired by pioneering tennis great Billie Jean King, said: 'Hillary Clinton is a proven leader and she has a strong track record when it comes to inclusion -- specifically for women and the LGBTQ community.'
