This is a statue of two dolphins in the Russian City of Bryansk. It was installed earlier this week.

A day after it was erected, a petition was started to remove the sculpture because some people believed it possessed "questionable cultural values".

According to a local news outlet, the petition was started by the Bryansk center for youth initiatives.

While same-sex sexual activity is legal in Russia, homosexuality is still widely condemned in the country. Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin was called out by pop star Elton John over the country's historically poor treatment of the LGBT community.

In 2013, Russian officials passed a law banning LGBT propaganda in what they described as a move to protect children from content that promotes homosexuality.
