First activist convicted under Russian 'anti gay' law (Hürriyet)
“The judge ‘opened a Pandora’s box’ by issuing the first such ruling, he said, adding that he will appeal and plans to contest the law at the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights…The controversy has also caused diplomatic tensions: the US State Department in February said it was deeply concerned the bill would restrict freedom of assembly for gays. American pop singer Madonna, who has a huge gay following, promised to raise the issue at her concert in the city in August.”

[nohetero] masterfully balances presentations of absurd comedy and absurd tragedy (most notably of a political bent). Visiting [her] blog can fill me with righteous indignation and then assuage that very rage in a matter of moments ^_^ [She] often inspires a roller-coaster of emotion, but [she] consistently inspire passion, which is much appreciated for those of us (growing in number daily, it would seem) who are desperate to escape the banality of our mundane lives.
