(We are) #Gaypropaganda launches first video to illustrate violence against LGBT people in Russia.
(We Are) #GayPropaganda has launched the first in a series of public service announcements, inspired by recent images of violence against the LGBT community in Russia.
The organisation seeks to unite voices from around the world in support of LGBT people facing prejudice and violence and they hope to provide the international community with the tools and language needed to make their opposition to Russia’s anti-LGBT oppression heard during the Winter Olympics.
Kevin Dolan, Co-founder of (We Are) #GayPropaganda said: “We are proud to release the first of three media pieces in an effort to humanize and more clearly illustrate the escalating violence against LGBT people in Russia.”
He added: “Social media has given us a platform to communicate who we are and what we believe. Our presence and the use of #GayPropaganda seeks to reclaim this term by unifying the conversations in order to provide education, support, and empowerment to LGBT people and their allies with an unshakeable belief in the power of community.”
The hard-hitting video states, “To you they are just pictures. For them, it’s real life” it also urges the watcher to “be the antidote to hate.”
