Creative agency Mother London recently designed a set of nesting dolls in the image of five British gay icons, including Stephen Fry and sent them to the Kremlin as a gesture of support for Russia’s LGBT community.

Animal New York spoke to the actor, writer and all-around genius about the fight for LGBT rights in Russia.

Stephen Fry recently travelled to Russia as part of his documentary ‘Out There’, which explored homophobia all over the world. Whilst there he confronted politician Vitaly Milonov who sponsored St. Petersburg’s “gay propaganda” bill.
