Kiss the Kremlin

Ssex Bbox

Issue 44 | September 2017

Background

In Russia, the LGBTQ community was threatened with violence and prison. Any sort of gay parade was banned for 100 years.

When protestors took to the streets to demonstrate against the incarceration in concentration camps of homosexuals in Chechnya, 18 people were arrested.

Even the 'Gay Clown' meme of President Putin wearing lipstick was censored.

If LGBTQ sympathizers wanted to protest, how could they in a place where dissenters were placed at considerable risk?
