Straight. Married. Arrested for supporting gay rights.
I just signed a petition to the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, asking him to condemn the “homosexual propaganda” law just passed in Saint Petersburg, and prevent the law from spreading nationwide. This terrible law makes it a crime for anybody to read, write, blog about, or declare any kind of support for gay rights in Russia. And it’s already being used to shut down free speech.
Sergey Kondrashov, a straight married attorney, was just arrested in Saint Petersburg, Russia for holding up a banner that read: “A dear family friend is lesbian. My wife and I love and respect her … and her family is just as equal as ours.” On April 16 Sergey will go to court, where he could be fined and even thrown in jail for 15 days. Sergey is taking a stand, now let’s make sure that he, and the Russian Prime Minister, know the whole world is watching.
Please add your name to this letter, asking Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to denounce the absurd anti-gay law that made somebody like Sergey a criminal, and to do everything in his power to stop this unconstitutional law from spreading nationwide:

girly stuff
Today I was shooting a fluffy purple alpaca dress for mom’s shop. Can say now that I pretty much hate shooting dresses, because they are big, and if you have no model (and there was no model) they look ridiculous in a photo.
But the result is rather nice even though it involved a lot of me climbing on chairs.
