Elton John condemns Russian anti-gay law at a show in Moscow

He is the first big-time Western celebrity to condemn Russia's new anti-gay legislation, Sir Elton John made some noise at his concert in Moscow on Friday, 6th Dec.

Madonna and Lady Gaga (who performed in Moscow in 2012) are other singers who stood up against anti-gay movements.

The 66-year-old singer's performance was in honour of a Russian man killed for being gay, and during it, he condemned discrimination against the local gay community onstage.
He claimed that he was "sad to learn" about the enactment of the banning of "propaganda of homosexuality among minors," also stating on BBC News that, "In my opinion, it is inhumane and it is isolating."

The Russian legislation was enacted in June, and since then, the "Circle of Life" singer has become the first Western celebrity to publicly denounce the laws. Controversy and law suits are definitely gonna follow.
