A gay rights activist holds a placard during an opposition protest demanding fair elections in St. Petersburg March 24, 2012. U.S. pop singer Madonna has promised to defy a recent law against homosexual “propaganda” in Vladimir Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg on her upcoming tour through Russia this summer. Homosexuality, punished with jail terms in the Soviet Union, was only decriminalized in Russia in 1993, but much of the homosexual community remains largely underground as anti-gay prejudice runs deep. The placard reads, “We won’t return to the underground.”
