#PRIDEPROPAGANDA Soviet Propaganda Gay Pride Posters
Even though homosexuality was decriminalized in Russia in 1993, a 2013 law makes it illegal to promote non-traditional sexual relationships among minors. Merely waving a rainbow flag might get you arrested. Because of this, activists from around the world are coming out in support of gay rights in Russia. One fabulous grassroots campaign, from a group called Pride Propaganda, revises old Soviet Propaganda posters to proudly feature rainbow flags galore. Retro visions of a communist utopia are converted into visions of a world free of homophobia accompanied by the hashtag #pridepropaganda . The posters are published anonymously to avoid backlash from hate groups.
