  • Rammstein Members Kiss on Stage To Defy Russian Anti-LGBT Laws
    POSTED


    Rammstein have kicked up some controversy over at a recent show in Moscow, Russia - because that's what they do!

    During the middle of the set, guitarists Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers briefly snuck in a little peck, which a direct stab at Russia's anti-LGBT laws which were introduced by Vladimir Putin in 2013.

    Known as the "gay propaganda" law, the act of "propagating non-traditional sexual relationships to a minor" can be punished with a fine, with foreigners facing detention and deportation.

    The kiss is shown in the footage below at around the 4:55 mark:

     

    Rammstein even took it further by uploading a photo of the event to their Instagram with the caption "Russian, we love you!"
