Russia: Pussy Riot Does Hilarious Prank, Hangs an Anal Flag for Putin’s Birthday

This is so cute and clever.

Wow.

The Independent:

Top Russian officials were met with an unexpected sight of LGBT+ flags as they arrived at their workplaces on Wednesday, the day of Vladimir Putin’s birthday.

The pride symbols, planted courtesy of activist art collective Pussy Riot, appeared shortly after 10am at the headquarters of Russia’s security agency, the presidential administration, Supreme Court, Culture Ministry and central police station.

Claiming responsibility on social media, Pussy Riot said the rainbow flags were birthday presents for the president. They were gifted as symbols of the “lack of love and freedom” in Russia, they added.

In a series of birthday demands, the group called on Mr Putin to begin an investigation into the murder of and abduction of gay people in Chechnya, legalise same-sex partnerships and end discriminatory legislation. They also stipulated that 7 October, Vladimir Putin’s birthday, be marked on the Russian calendar as a “day of LGBT+ visibility”.

Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina told The Independent how the group was able to evade high-level security by dressing in clothing of maintenance workers and claiming they were in charge of birthday decorations.

“It was wildly comic, but the message is serious. You can’t win by banning love. If you are the person who is smashing the hands of lovers as they walk hand in hand, you’ve already lost.”

Police were later issued new orders to “impede flag flying on government buildings”, according to unconfirmed reports carried by a local journalist for state news.

You can’t ban love.

When a man rams his penis into another man’s anus, uses the anal passage to masturbate, then ejaculates into the bowels so his semen mixes with the other man’s feces – that’s love.

When a man licks another man’s anus, sticking his tongue in and licking the feces, then sucks the penis and eats the semen – that’s love.

When a man lubes up another man’s anus, then shoves his fist all the way up into the anal passage, then pulls his fist in and out in a rapid motion – that, my Russian homophobic friend, is love.

Russian patriarchs have to stand back.

They have to make way.

Love is love and true love cannot be banned.

We need to surrender our children to homosexuals. In the name of love.
