Putin Gay Dress-Up: Fighting Homophobia With Homophobia

Support our fight against Russian anti-gay laws!

On June 30 last year Russian president Vladimir Putin signed into law an “anti-gay propaganda” bill, which made it illegal to engage in any behavior that could be considered “gay propaganda.”


PutinGayDressUp.com wants to make a playful stand against homosexual discrimination and legal actions taken under the regional anti-LGBT propaganda laws. 


How thick is this?

Still, hardly the first time the sophisticated political argument 'Putin look gay hur hur hur' has been used.

Watch this.

Read this.  

'He looks gay! Hur hur hur!'
Oh, and our Owen Jones has written quite a good piece for The Independent; The Hypocrisy Of The Great Powers Is On Display Again In Ukraine.
Owen called me 'Mr Bitter Anonymous' on Twitter the other day. Which was fun.
While Matthew Parris writes, Leave Ukraine To The Russians - We don't know what we're doing. So let's stop doing it. Quite.
Best of all is Seumas Milne in The Guardian, The Clash In Crimea Is The Fruit Of Western Expansion.

BREAKING: Channel 4 News subtitles can't cope with the name of Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister...

'That says 'So gay lover!' Hur hur hur!'
