In metal concerts you can see everything, a kiss from two guitarists on stage should not be a scandal, but this kiss that two guitarists of the German band Rammstein gave each other occurred in a great concert with more than 80,000 spectators in Moscow. Russia is known to be one of the countries with the strictest laws against homosexuality and the entire LGBT community.

That is why the gesture has stood out so much, it became a direct challenge to the government of Vladimir Putin. In Moscow, as in all of Russia, kissing and any gesture that implies homosexuality is prohibited in public.

The guitarists posted the photo of the kiss on Instagram

Those attending the concert and the entire audience could then see the kiss that Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe decided to upload on Instagram. The atmosphere in the stadium where the Rammstein concert was given was somewhat confusing at first, they are Russian citizens in a country where such action is prohibited, but then everyone continued in the excitement of the concert.

Gay propaganda law was created in 2013

It was under the mandate of current President Putin in 2013 that Russia knew the first law that prohibits and even contemplates sanctions and punishments for those who exhibit or promote non-traditional sexual relations. It is one of the harshest laws against the sexually diverse community.

The German band Rammstein is known for constantly supporting the LGBT movement in different parts of the world, just a few days ago in Poland they displayed the flags of the LGBT movement during part of the show at their concert.
