Russia: Barbie Breakout Says "Nein Danke!"

Human stupidity reached a whole new level yesterday, after a German drag queen, Barbie Breakout, posted a video of himself sewing his lips... apparently in protest against Russian homophobia!
Yeah, that'll work.
TAKE THAT PUTIN!
Even though Putin gets off every time someone in the West tries to tell him what to do, so this was as completely counter-productive as it was monumentally stupid.
If President Putin knew about this, he'd be laughing his beige socks off.
It was part of a growing campaign of increasingly hysterical gay PR-stunts about, you know, bad stuff happening in Russia - a horrid backward country that refuses to recognise America as the new masters of the universe - and not bad things happening in someone's own country that they could actually hope to change.
In what can perhaps only be seen as an ironic attempt to expose and ridicule the wholescale depoliticisation of Western culture and show how we've finally entered The Society of the Spectacle, Barbie filmed herself doing it, then told the gay media he'd done it.
Asked if it was a completely pointless vanity project, Barbie Breakout - that name again, Barbie Breakout - said; "Nein."
Yay!

The hysteria about homosexuality in Russia has led to some gay media, like Queerty, to pick up - after much dedicated Googling - this article from Vice about gay Nazi skinheads in Russia - which is two months old.
Yes, there are gay Nazis.
There are gay anarchists and communists, too.
What is point?
This "interview" sounds a bit made up, though - which would be par for the course on this unreliable hysterical sensationalist magazine.
It's like the National Enquirer edited by Nathan Barley.

Update: A sensible, rational document by Stonewall on how Western outrage could be counterproductive and how they're talking with campaigners in Russia on how best to proceed.
Good to see some are stepping back from the hysteria and thinking about actions and - more importantly - their consequences.
