St. Petersburg just passed a law banning gay "propaganda," but Madonna’s not canceling her upcoming show there—she's promised to use the opportunity to raise hell instead. By Anna Nemtsova
he authors of a Russian law banning the promotion of homosexuality to minors has drawn a good deal of criticism from gay rights groups worldwide. But they face their biggest challenge this summer. A few weeks from now Madonna is scheduled to play the Sports Complex stage in St. Petersburg, the city where the law was enacted.
Madonna has hinted strongly she will speak out in protest, if not flaunt the law itself. Russia’s already tattered civil-rights reputation could hardly be helped by castigation from the top-selling female recording artist of all time.
The city’s legislators have expressed concerns about the possibility of Madonna—who famously kissed Britney Spears on national television in 2003—of getting undressed, or worse, saying something in defense of Russian gay rights before an audience of possible minors. Disrobing, depending on how it is done, apparently might be construed as a promotion of gay sex.
The author of the law banning the dissemination of information on homo-, bi- and transsexuality, Vitaly Milonov, has not decided whether he will personally attend the concert to see if Madonna breaks it. “I heard at the concerts on this tour she pulled off her tights, and we will not have that here,” Milonov told the Russian news agency Interfax. “We warn the organizers of the concert so that everything goes well. Otherwise they will face the harsh laws of St. Petersburg.”

Even secular russians don’t fall for this gay nonsense.
Rilly?
The Russian should bill this freak of a common harlot as an exemplar of the kind of degenerate scum which approves of Sodomites.
Why doesn’t she do the world a favor and go hawk her opinions on the main street of Riyadh. At least the Muslim nuts know how to take out this kind of human garbage.
ha, see it, love it.
So apparently Madonna FAVORS the promotion of homosexuality to minors ? I think this fading flower would do ANYTHING for attention. Don't worry, Madonna .... NAMBLA will bail you out of the Russian slammer.
“So apparently Madonna FAVORS the promotion of homosexuality to minors ? “
Exactly. Precisely. It is out in the open now. You know, one thing I will say for Putin, he is really clarifying this fight over global gay rights.
Wow, you would think The Daily Beast could at least edit. They obviously meant “flout” the law, but then, it is all the same to them perhaps.
Maybe she’ll sit down and have a nice chat with Putin over a polonium salad.....
