A Russian court recently declared that images of Vladimir Putin as “gay clown” are illegal. The court’s pretzel logic is as follows:
Item 4071: a picture of a Putin-like person “with eyes and lips made up,” captioned with an implicit anti-gay slur, implying “the supposed nonstandard sexual orientation of the president of the Russian Federation.”
So. Whatever you do. DO NOT share this image on Facebook or Twitter. It may have been prevalent at 2013 protests against Putin’s despicable crackdown on his nation’s LGBT community but it is somehow anti-gay and, also too, infers Putin isn’t a 100% virile male lady f^cker.
Please. Do. Not. Share. It.
p.s. This image of Putin and Medvedev is also not okay to share. So don’t do it. Okay?
