THE BIG GAY RSIAN SURPRISE OF THE WTER OLYMPICS
As the Rsian ernment gets ready for the event, the gay muny is preparg a slightly different ’s ultimate fuck-you move to the Rsian gay muny was the recent ban on gay “propaganda, ” and the fight back, the publishg pany, OR Books, will release a llectn of ttimonials, terviews, and stori about beg gay and love Rsia on the eve of the Olympics. Gay Propaganda: Rsian Love Stori provis a glimpse to the ongog abe and tolerance, and will brg much need hope and reassurance to young LGBT people of Rsia.
Are you exced for the lnch of Gay Propaganda? She’s also gay, and had wrten a piece for The Guardian June about the choice to move her entire fay, partner, and three kids, to the US to pe the anti-gay laws. Masha anized terviews wh gay and lbian Rsians Rsia, and I chased after LGBT Rsians abroad, a fast-growg tegory thanks to the terratg suatn back gatherg stori and material, what sort of obstacl did you and the book’s storytellers have to overe?
I didn’t fd as difficult to nvce gay and lbian Rsians livg abroad to speak wh me, as many the folks don’t feel like they have much left to lose. In a society where the ernment has ma posive or sympathetic portrayals of LGBT life illegal, I thk voic like this uld be a lifele for some queer Rsians, and a culture jam to at least beg to bat all the anti-gay venom beg spewed by the major media to how we’ll do that, by the end of this month the Rsian e-book will be available for anybody as a ee download, and we’ll be publicizg that the Rsian blogosphere and the media. I jt heard about a iend of a iend, a straight guy, who was beat up by thugs Mosw who shouted anti-gay ephets at him.
