Tu veux nous y rejoindre? /ty vø nuz i ʁəʒwɛ̃ndʁ/ You want to join us there? After a couple months of coquettish Facebook chats, my French friends were finally in town. One blond and one dark-haired, they were a couple looking for a third to stop by their hotel. Excited to use the word ménage-à-trois […]
This is a Vladimir Putin My Ass Butt Plug imagined by Anya and Mar, in response to Putin’s Gay Purge. In June 2013 Vladimir Putin banned the ‘propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships’. Assaults and murders of gay Russians have been ignored by the police for years. Now that homophobia has been practically legitimised, LGBT activists […]
Have you heard of Rospotrebnadzor? We haven’t, until 30 minutes ago, when Anatoli Ulyanov of art site Looo.ch told ANIMAL that Rospotrebnadzor — Russia’s Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare — has blocked their site and added it into the Registry of Forbidden Sites. This means that every ISP in Russia is blocking Looo.ch from their customers. […]
Today, a popular Russian television station EvroKino was issued an official warning from Russia’s Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media for “propagating same-sex relations” by showing a 2007 French musical Les Chansons d’Amour (Love Songs) directed by Christophe Honoré.

This is not what a feminist artist looks like. I am not in a habit of trashing a show before I see it, so I won’t trash the 2-day “EXPLICIT” exhibit at Morgan Avenue Underground in Bushwick this weekend. After reading this Vice profile however, it’s clear that there is an ethical and intellectual fail in […]
A few days ago, someone painted the crosswalk outside of Russian Embassy in Sweden rainbow. This photo from VK (Russian Facebook) is the first instance that we know of where this protest is happening in Russia. Ekaterinburg, feel the rainbow! Why is this a big deal? It’s illegal. It’s right. While there isn’t any consensus […]
India’s not the best place to be a raging homosexual but it’s certainly not the worst. There’s one legally-married gay couple, and their biggest export is the campy musical, most notably the three-hour twerk dramas of Shahrukh Khan. There’s also the Holi festival for people who want to be rainbows. India has 22 officially recognized […]
Contrary to the International Olympic Committee who received “assurances from the highest level” of the Russian government that gay Olympic athletes, foreign visitors and the media will not be persecuted under the “gay propaganda” bill, yes they will. Not only the co-writer of the bill, Vitaly Milonov (petition US government to ban Milonov’s Visa here), stated that […]
You know what this is. You know. Here’s a beautiful little Tumblr tribute to that special social network that makes some of your friends say “BRB!” and return 30 minutes later because he found a friend in the building. (True story.) Behold: Grindr Illustrated. Self-explanatory. Hello, boys. […]
