Gay Russian attacks activists for pushing homosexual acceptance

By Staff Writer, PinkNews.co.uk

One of the few openly gay pop stars in Russia has criticised the organisers of Moscow Pride for being too persistent.

Performer Boris Moiseyev said gays should not insist on acceptance if society is opposed.
Moscow Pride organiser Nicolas Alexeyev commented:

"Boris Moiseyev is known as very close to (former President and current Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir) Putin and the Kremlin. He received an award from Putin. He is used as "an excuse" by the power.

"Dressed in women's clothes, he really does not give a positive image of gays and lesbians.

"The shows of Moiseyev are often targeted by anti gay protesters and religious groups who come to protest in front of the hall where he performs, so, "If society doesn't accept him as a gay singer, he should not insist.""
