At the End of the Rainbow

12,000 people gathered in front of the parliament and whichever way you look you see rainbow flags, painted faces and people holding banners. “Putin go straight to hell!” is one message. Another one urge the Danish prime minister to call Mr. Vladimir Putin.

There was a demonstration yesterday against the anti gay law that has been passed in Russia.  It’s a law that bans promotion of homosexuality. It has caused great controversy and gay people that have taken part in rallies despite the law, have been beaten up without the police hindering that they got hurt. The police didn’t take action before the assailant left. Then they took the gay rights activists to the arrest, because they’ve been participating in an illegal demonstration.

Luckily our demonstration wasn’t illegal, and it was cool that so many Danish people showed up to support gay rights in Russia. And I mean just because it's a serious cause, doesn't mean you can't have fun. I had a great time with my girls!
