Gay Icon Nesting Dolls Sent to the Kremlin for Christmas

Who wouldn't love a set of traditional Russian nesting dolls painted to look like famous gay icons? Probably not anybody working at the Kremlin. But officials there will still receive the novelty gift as a Christmas present this year meant to "stick two fingers up at homophobia in Russia."

For its holiday campaign titled, #ToRussiaWithLove, U.K.-based creative agency Mother London commissioned seven sets of the matryoshka dolls, each painted to look like a openly-gay celebrity, such as Elton John and Stephen Fry.

One set of the dolls will be sent to the Kremlin, and another to the Russian Consulate in London. The rest of the dolls are being auctioned off on eBay to raise money for Kaleidoscope Trust, a human rights organization dedicated to promoting LGBT equality worldwide.

Stephen Fry, who autographed one set of the nesting dolls scheduled for auction, recently tweeted about them:

Oh look, I fit snugly into Elton, and George Michael fits snugly into me.

Homophobia in Russia has become an increasing international concern since this summer when the country passed its anti-gay propaganda law, banning the promotion of any nonheterosexual relationship. As a result, human rights advocates have also had pointed criticisms for the International Olympic Committee for upholding its decision to stage the next Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi.

This week, President Barack Obama made it known he would not attend the games, but would instead send a U.S. delegation that includes openly-gay athletes such as Billie Jean King and Brian Boitano.

“Oh look, I fit snugly into Elton, and George Michael fits snugly into me.”

This is beyond sick.

They’ve just wasted a lot of money, which is funny. Why don’t these pretentious colonial dirtbags go to St. Petersburg and put on a parade? Too afraid? Let the nationalist mobs deal with them.

controversial t-shirt company (named deleted) launched a campaign vowing to send 10,000 pro-gay children's coloring books to the country.

That company giving anything to a child is disgusting. They might get more than they bargained for when a not so PC or restrained parent sees it.

Grandpa Walton actor, Will Greer’s extra special partner, Harry Hay (NAMBLA) once said every 14 year old boy needed a gay teacher. To think of those kids on The Waltons for all those years.

“Grandpa Walton actor, Will Greer’s extra special partner...”

What are you implying?

Why would you want to destroy an American icon?

Don’t believe me that Will Greer was gay? Do your own search and then get back to me.
