Russian Lesbian Selfie Mocks Anti-Gay Russian Politician In Flight, Politician Challenges Gay Couples To Go To US!

 Russian lesbian selfie of two young activists caught the attention of the social media when they posted their photograph in social networking sites to mock an Anti-gay politician, who was aboard with them.

The Russian lesbian selfie takes greater depth as a way to insult the lawmaker, who was a strong advocate of anti-gay marriages and relationships in Russia calling transgender, bisexual and gays "sick" and "crazy," CNN noted.

Vitaly Milonov, the popular anti-gay lawmaker was on an Aeroflot flight traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg when the two women spotted him and immediately took a selfie while they were kissing.

However, the two didn't just capture their intimate kiss. Milonov was intentionally included in their selfie kissing protest.

The Russian lesbian selfie went viral right after one of the two women took to Instagram and Vkontakte (Russia's version of Facebook) their protest photo with caption, "We are very happy. He probably isn't."

Kseniya Infinity, one of the women who shared the Russian lesbian selfie captioned her Instagram photo, "Who's that in the background??? MILONOV! And we don't give a f***! We're flying to our favourite club, Infinity."

Milonov, St. Petersburg politician strongly opposes same-sex marriages and relationships and since lesbian couple Irina Shumilova and Alyona Fursova married on Nov. 2014, the politician drafted a bill that targets banning same-sex marriage in Russia.

He proposed that Irina Shumilova and Alyona Fursova should go and have treatment in a mental asylum. As open with his belief, he also challenged all gay people who want to get married to go to the United States.

As the Russian lesbian selfie became instant hit on the social media and has caught national news, the well known anti-LGBT politician threatened to find the women and have Cossacks "whip" and "torch" them, according to Buzzfeed.

In a statement to Zaks.ru, a Russian website, the irate lawmaker called the women 'animal' telling that they offended all the passengers on the plane with its extravagant, terrible, inhuman tactics. He added he can call the Cossacks and ask them to whip and torch them.

The Russian lesbian selfie agitated the Russian lawmaker's patience and ended with threat to expel all the perverts from St. Petersburg.

Kseniya Infinity later aired her side on her Russian lesbian selfie post on her Vkontakte page as translated by Meduza news site that says the man was really Milinov sitting in the row right behind them.

 Milinov didn't say anything to them the whole flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg and when he realized that they were taking the kissing selfie, the politician hid on his tablet.

Milinov has been known in standing strong stance on his anti- LGBT bill. Earlier, he called to ban Apple CEO Tim Cook in entering Russia with the fear to bring Ebola and AIDS to their country.

 St. Petersburg is the first ever city in Russia to pass a bill opposing "gay propaganda" that was already made into law by Pres. Vladimir Putin in June of 2013.

As opposed to Kseniya Infinity's statement explaining what happened after they took the controversial Russian lesbian selfie, the anti- LGBT lawmaker commented to Flashnord that the women made bunch of silly selfies, photographed themselves, and ran to the back of the plane, where they sat down and didn't show their faces until the end of the flight.

What can you say about the Russian lesbian selfie? Are you in favor of same sex relationships and marriages? Do you think the Russian lesbian selfie is just a right protest to Milinov?
