Thousands of Swedes recently gathered
in Stockholm's Olympic Stadium to support LGBT Russians.
The film project, called LIVE AND LET
LOVE, is the brainchild of Sean Kelly, a singer and choir conductor
looking for a way to protest recent passage of a Russian law that
prohibits “gay propaganda” to minors.
Kelly assembled thousands of choir
members in the Olympic Stadium of Stockholm – home to the Olympic
Summer Games of 1912 – to sing the Russian National Anthem.
The result is a remarkable 4-minute
short film in which a young boy and girl lead thousands in the
singing as the stadium is draped in rainbow flags, which symbolize
gay pride. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
our video library for more videos.)
Organizers are encouraging others to
create and share their own rainbow versions of the Russian National
Anthem.
