Russia's 'LGBTQ Movement' Ban: Unveiling the Absurd Extremism
Russian street artist Philippenzo has unveiled a new artwork called "Russian Rainbow," featuring six horizontal stripes in the colors of the Russian tricolor, resembling the LGBT flag. The artist, who is living abroad to avoid charges of vandalism, expressed that the idea came to him spontaneously. The painting is currently on sale at an online auction. Philippenzo is known for his anti-war graffiti and has faced legal consequences for his art in the past. The Supreme Court of Russia recently ruled the "International LGBT Movement" as "extremist," effectively banning it.
