Alexander Agapov, the president of the Russian LGBT Sport Federation, visited Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium during the World Cup and let his gay pride flag fly! The activist initially flew the giant flag while Vladimir Putin was speaking.

“I believe you should practice what you preach and, if I’m telling LGBT football fans to be visible, then I should do it myself,” Agapov told The Associated Press. “Each time the Russian team scored a goal I was waving the rainbow flag … I was showing my support.”
