In Moskow Actress Tilda Swinson Shows The Rainbow In Solidarity with LGTB She Also Appears In Drag With James Franco in USA

  

British actress Tilda Swinton has been photographed waving a gay pride flag in Moscow’s Red Square. Lee Williscroft-Ferris reports.

52-year-old UK actress Tilda Swinton has been captured on camera brandishing a pride flag in direct view of the Kremlin in the Russian capital.

Russia remains firmly in the international human rights spotlight, due to an ‘anti-gay propaganda’ law currently awaiting Vladimir Putin’s signature. The legislation, which received overwhelming backing from members of the Duma, also bans pride marches from taking place anywhere in the country. In addition, there has been an upsurge in homophobic violence in recent months, despite homosexual acts having been decriminalised in 1993.

The world’s largest country has also come under criticism due to the continued imprisonment of two members of the feminist punk collective Pussy Riot, convicted of hooliganism motivated by racial hatred.

Swinton, known for her roles in films such as The Beach, The Chronicles of Narnia and We Need To Talk About Kevin, is yet to give a reason for her actions. However, her representative Christian Hodell has urged people to share the image, saying ‘Please share this message from Tilda: ‘In solidarity. From Russia with love’.’

A lot of actors cultivate the appearance of being multi-layered and kind of bizarre, but few have made it their life’s work like Tilda Swinton and James Franco seemingly have. Both Tilda and James known as experimental beings who often gender bend and play with their own identities. But while some of James’ antics seem like calculated affectations (ahem, “General Hospital”), there is no denying that Tilda is an absolute dyed-in-the-wool weirdo. Here are five strange things Tilda Swinton did long before James Franco had even dreamed of appearing on daytime television as, like, a total cultural statement, man.
You can say anything you want about James Franco but he is shown that he is not afraid to play any part of wear any custom. I wonder how many personalities are tucked up behind that beautiful bud of his!
