Putin: Respect Europe´s LGBTQ community.

• Jump to comments (122) (The Guardian)

Rusia retrógrada, atada a los faldones de los popes ortodoxos. Rusia, que fue parte dominante de la URSS. La nación que derrotó el fascismo alemán. En otros posts he dicho que Putin me molaba. Y persisto en afirmar que como macho cabrío alfa eslavo da la talla. Resulta un zar de nueva hornada educado por la NKVD. Un tío duro. Frío. Inteligente. De mucho cuidado. A lo mejor se reprime en sus gustos privados. Tal vez, en el fondo, le van los macizos.

"Russian officials have banned fans from staging a parade in honour of Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst. Citing the risk of violence and the need to "respect morality", Moscow's security department denied an application for the Conchita Wurst March of Bearded Women and Men, which was due to take place on 27 May

Wurst, the drag persona of Austria's Thomas Neuwirth, has become an icon for Europe's LGBTQ community and a flashpoint for Russia's debate over gay rights. So while the singer has her share of fans - she won 290 points in the Eurovision final - the proposed parade was a piece of hirsute political theatre."
