Guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe locked lips while performing in Moscow this week, in protest of the country’s anti-gay propaganda laws.

Last month, a prominent LGBTIQ+ activist in Russia was found dead after her name was posted to a ‘gay hunting’ website – encouraging violence against known queer advocates.
