    Gross. Keep your slobbering shows of affection and exchange of bodily fluids behind closed doors.

    I've never heard of this band, but i'm glad those two guys found each other and I hope they make each other happy.

    Doing it in Russia makes me laugh a bit, I have no problems with creative in ways to tell Russia to piss off.

    If you're going to "tell" something, you do it with words.

    These two musicians are not gay and are not a couple. Rammstein as a band simply show some support for the lesbian & gay community esp. in those countries where the situation is or may be a bit problematic. They've done that in Poland and now in Russia.

    ya, whatever, they can approach this however they please, no skin off my back, I really don't pay attention much to Russia's stance on sexual preference, but it appears that they are not coming around to acceptance very quickly so if that bothers the powers that be then its on them.

    What evidence is there that anyone in power in Russia is bothered, beyond just disgusted?
    They sound like they're trying to be martyrs.

    Poland and Russia ... tee hee.

    Let's take them seriously when they do it in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Brunei, and Afghanistan.

    I don't think any well known heavy metal band would tour Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Afghanistan; wouldn't make any sense.
    To me, it's their way of showing support for the lesbian & gay community and a way or saying they don't agree with Putin's laws. Nothing wrong with that.

    If they got locked up for their lip lock, the left would blame it on Trump.

    Oh puh-lease. These freaking White Knights pay lip service only. Not one of them is genuinely interested in LG rights. If they were, the Religion of Peace world would be their absolute focus. The only places left on earth still actually requiring drastic action on the subject.

    Nothing worse than totally fake poseurs who pretend to care, while ignoring real and deadly persecution.

    It sounds like you are bothered by it, if you are, don't go to their concerts, which should be pretty easy, given that most people have no idea who the hell they are.

    Yet no one would be complaining had it been a heterosexual display.

    Considering their other laws, it would be a little premature. People are liable to end up headless or crucified in Saudi Arabia for some pretty bogus reasons.

    Eric Harris would be livid at this news. It does seem like a bit of a publicity stunt, I'm fairly sure they aren't particularly liberal going by their lyrics.

    Some very sad news in there also:

    The display from Rammstein band members also came about a week after an LGBT activist, Yelena Grigoryeva, was stabbed and killed. Grigoryeva, 41, had reportedly been listed on a website that encouraged people to "hunt" for advocates of gay rights.​

    It's pretty sick and disturbing that such a list exists. Reminds me of what happens to journalists in Mother Russia.

    That was . . . interesting. Not my cup of tea but each to their own!

    Actually, I would. When Al Gore gave
    his wife a slobbery kiss at the DNC in 2000, I think it was, the National Review showed the photo on its cover with the caption GROSS OUT, which it was . Not to mention fake ... They later divorced.

    There is more fear of homophobia today than there is actual homophobia. But every body is a victim, and must shout their victimhood from the rooftops. Which is also disgusting.
