Tilda Swinton Rainbow Flag – Actress Supports LGBT Community At Kremlin

In solidarity with Russia’s LGBT citizens, Oscar winning actress Tilda Swinton has posed for a picture with a rainbow flag in front of the Kremlin.

The brave stunt comes as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has recently signed the ‘non-traditional relationships’ propaganda bill into law effectively making homophobia legal.

Actress Tilda Swinton has posed for a photograph, posted on Twitter by her representative, flying a rainbow flag in front of the Kremlin, Moscow, in solidarity with the LGBT community. Swinton posed with the flag at a time when Russia’s government is severely restricting the rights of LGBT people.

This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning foreign gay and lesbian couples from adopting Russian children (a law that also bans adoptions by individual people who live in countries with marriage equality) and also signed the ‘non-traditional relationships’ propaganda bill, effectively making homophobia legal.
