New York,NY (September 23, 2013) — Four Queer Nation NY members disrupted the Metropolitan Opera’s Opening Night Gala, demanding that pro-Putin Russian performers at the Gala—and the Met itself—end their silence on the Kremlin’s attacks on LGBT Russians. As well-dressed opera-goers awaited the start of the performance, the Queer Nation NY members unfurled a rainbow flag and chanted “Putin, Stop, End Your War on Russian Gays!” and “Anna, Your Silence is Killing Russian Gays! Valery, Your Silence is Killing Russian Gays!” just before the opera began, delaying the start of the performance.
