Propaganda

Johnny in one of his traditional warmup jackets 

emblazoned with the word “Russia.” 

As a well-known openly gay man whose marriage 

to Victor was front-page news in Russia, 
he is, in the eyes of Russian law, 

literally “homosexual propaganda.”

"I Am Myself, Never Flinching"

“I will fight for my right to go to Russia. 

I will fight to perform there. I will fight to show 

the government how strong my community is. 

I will proudly go to Russia ... and hold my head high. 

Should I get arrested, I will be arrested with the pride 

that I am myself, never flinching, and I will be strong 

for the oppressed community of beautiful people 

who I can call brothers.”
