Russian police arrestd two women after a small demonstration for gay rights outside the Moscow mayor's office on yesterday. Women holding rainbow flags were escorted into a police car and taken away. Other
gay activists, among them the leader of Russian gay community Nikolay
Alexeev, drove by the mayor's office waving rainbow flags. Alexeev and
other activists wore wigs to appear like Eurovision Song Contest winner
and Austrian drag queen Conchita Wurst and played her winning song Rise like a Phoenix through the loudspeakers.
They didn't have a permit for the demostration but then it would be impossible to get one due to the new laws that forbit all "gay propaganda"....
