“PUT GAY DRS UP” MAK A POLIL STATEMENT

The Rsian state and s lears are equently put to nversatn wh homosexualy, but the valence of the disurse shifts by first sectn of this chapter exam the image closer tail, nductg a semtic analysis of how a picture be memetic, able to travel across space and time. We emphasize that the explic shift om behavr (fg sexual acts between subjects) to performance and imag (pecially those suggtive of Put’s “non-standard sexual orientatn”) recenters the genr bate wh an thorarian range, reifyg homophobic propaganda and jtifyg anti-gay state policy.

Footnote 4, Footnote 5 On Augt 23, 2013, a Getty photographer at a prott outsi the Rsian embassy Madrid photographed a protter wh a sign pictg Put’s face bold make-up superimposed over a rabow flag wh the words “STOP HOMOFOBIA” [sic] scribed on his forehead. More recently, the image ronat wh strategi such as “queerg the Queen” that have been documented at LGBT+ pri paras the UK; both functn as an example of the ntradictory existence of “shared” and “modifyg” gay inti wh the space of public activism (Ammaturo 2016; Armstrong 2002) such, votn of the pop art athetic ntribut to the subversive qualy of the meme two ways. We see the meme of Put as a gay clown shift between the last two realms—“Queerg the Ristance” and “Heteronormative-homophobic Opposn Polics”—movg om the material level Wtern protts 2013 to the symbolic level of the viral image, and back to the material/legal level where is banned Rsia I: Homophobia Rsian Polics and the Heteronormative StateIn this sectn, we trace the way which issu of queer inty are prent on material and symbolic levels Rsian polics.

GAME ALLOWS ERS TO CREATE ‘GAY PUT’, AND PLAY DRS-UP WH HIM

For example, Alexandr Dug, a proponent of Neo-Eurasianism and fascist thought, is ntroversially creded wh statg that Rsia has ma a mistake by refg to “accept, rporate, and velop a homosexual disurse of patrtic homosexualy by juxtaposg to European ‘sodomy’” (Romas 2017). Such ristance strategi also ll to qutn the nstctn of time and dividual agency wh the iologil practic of social IV: Heteronormative-Homophobic Opposn PolicsAmid the Rsian media’s buildup to the 2012 printial electns, opposn ndidat began explog media foc on sexualy by directly attackg Put’s masculy and virily.

RSIAN COURT BANS IMAGE SUGGTG PUT IS GAY

The disurse of imagery and the parameters of s power are by and large factors of an thorarian state enlistg hegemonic masculy and homophobia to perform discursive and, some s, physil vlence agast Before a Fall: Material Conttatns of LGBT+ Activism Public SpaceIn this sectn, we adopt a ntent polics perspective, analyzg the terplay between the var realms sketched above. Then, we turn to the way which opposn to the Rsian state plays on sexual polics, particularly terms of how the Put meme manifts ntent polics as a form of heteronormative-homophobic opposn polics (Realm IV) Rsian ernment’s backlash agast the Put meme and the nant re-entrenchment of heteronormative regim of sexual cizenship share a mon thread. Although the 2013 law do not reverse the precent of crimalizatn of homosexualy started the 1990s, echo of the “treasono gay” reverberate through the language, that “clearly targets non-heterosexual relatns: the origal draft the term was ‘propaganda for homosexualy’ (propaganda gomoseksualizma), and the popular word the prs was gay propaganda (gei-propaganda)” (Persson 2015).

PUT GAY DRSUP

Loosely crafted to blur public perceptns of homosexualy, child abe, and treason, this rhetoric reifi the terplay between the heteronormative state (Realm I) and the possibily of a patrtic homosexualy (Realm II) wh public spher limed by Rsian the banng of Pri events and the anti-“gay propaganda” legislatn aim to assert a new regime wh this public sphere of cizenship. Durg a bate aired by state-n televisn work Poccия-1 on April 4, 2012, Dmry Kiselyov, the ntroversial host of that work’s weekly “News of the Week” program, explaed his stance on the issue: “I thk that jt imposg f on gays for homosexual propaganda among teenagers is not enough. Footnote 13 Kiselyov’s remarks, met wh pole applse om the live stud dience, were wily circulated onle and ternatnal news media followg the passage of the 2013 procs of otherg ployed the language of the 2013 anti-“gay propaganda” law nst the gay body as anathema, lerally “foreign, ” and “unsuable for the ntuatn of life, ” and discursively nstcts as a vector of Wtern emasculatn of Rsian valu.

This disurse nstcts the gay body as an Other posned outsi of the RF’s heteronatnalist value stcture, enablg the criqu of Put to circulate om the hypermasculist stat quo of Realm I to Realm IV, whereby opponents -opt LGBT+ prott imagery om Wtern sourc to attack Put’s masculy and impugn his polil base.

While to Wtern observers the prohibn on Pri march Mosw’s public spac and the addn of the gay clown image to the Mistry of Jtice’s list of “extremist materials” may smack of a Stal-que “cult of personaly, ” the polysemic performance of the meme, enabled by nsumerist cultural patterns and technologi, nstut sendary productn (De Certe 1984; Gray 2001). While ially a prott drawg attentn to state-sanctned homophobia Rsia and s police tactics agast queer bodi and reprentatns, the spatial dimensns of the circulatn of the Put meme, as well as s orig and near-ubiquy at anti-homophobia protts outsi of Rsia attts to what Essig (2014) lls a “clash of fundamentalisms” (p.

PUT AS GAY IN? MEM AS A TACTIC RSIAN LGBT+ ACTIVISM

Paradoxilly, such an expansn of “patrtic homosexualy” to mastream polil and media disurse uld be regard as spect by members of the LGBT+ muny Rsia and the Rsian public alike, given the posnaly of statements ma by polil sirs like Dmri as the crimalizatn of homosexualy Rsia me amid ternatnal prsure on the state to acce to the Council of Europe (Kon 1997), the circulatn and subsequent crimalizatn of the Put meme speaks as much to endogeno velopments Rsian public culture as do exogeno forc.

PUT GAY DRS-UP - MAKE A STAND AGAST DISCRIMATN!

While we do not attribute the populary or ntroversy of the “gay clown” meme to the iologil projects of “bots” or “trolls, ” the Inter’s potential as a mocratic space for the mobilizatn of pro-LGBT+ public perceptn—or moreover, as Buyantueva (2018) not, as a space for the “survival” of the muny—appears threatened by the Rsian state’s rponse.

Likewise, the ongog (and surreal) aftermath of recrimatns between the US telligence muny, the Whe Hoe, and the Put regime over Rsian ernment terference the 2016 US printial electn, Wtern media equently feature high profile stori implitg pro-Put “putatnal propaganda” (Woolley and Howard 2016) attacks on policians, gay celebri, and pro-LGBT+ social media acunts Europe and the Uned Stat. Further rearch uld shed light on the rmatn elogi which Rsian LGBT+ muni and pro-Put tonomo agents may unwtgly assemble, and the implitns of such ntted virtual spac and disurs on the succs of LGBT+ social gay clown meme monstrat tactil polics by (a) subvertg the syntactic excs of Rsian natnalist disurs that marry heterosexual masculy to ernmental thory, and (b) centralizg the spattemporal loc of activist rhetoric.

This readg speaks to a kd of homonatnalism which stabiliz the nstctn of a staable and jt regime of sexual cizenship Put’s Rsia (Kahn 2017) implitns are ma more profound by the homophobic disurs harnsed by Put’s regime and the attendant climate of vlence affectg LGBT+ muni and dividuals throughout the RF, cludg shockg reports of “gay genoci” Chechnya (Walker 2017).

THE GAY WORLD WAR? INSI PUT’S WARPED REALY

What is certaly not to be done, to paraphrase Essig’s (2014) purposeful rephrasg of Len’s qutn, is to more rigidly fe a polilly rrect queerns while lowerg the polil sts of restutg stereotyp of “treasono homosexuals” the post-Soviet ntext or “gay villas” the Wt. ”Over the last two s, Rsian Print Vladimir Put has waged an all-out asslt on the LGBTQ muny, amg as part of a larger mpaign to protect Rsia’s “tradnal culture” om what he scrib as an onslght of morn valu promoted by the has lled genr fluidy “a crime agast humany, ” and equated homosexualy wh pedophilia.
