Actress Tilda Swinton flies rainbow flag in Moscow in solidarity with LGBT community

Actress Tilda Swinton has posed for a photograph, posted on the internet by her representative, flying a rainbow flag in front of St Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow, in solidarity with the LGBT community.
The photograph, which was posted by Christian Hodell, who represents Swinton, features the actress holding the rainbow flag, commonly associated with the LGBT community, up with St Basil’s clearly featured in the background.
“Please share this message from Tilda: ‘In solidarity. From Russia with love’,” said Hodell.
There has been an international outcry recently, as several pieces of legislation have passed through the Russian Parliament, banning or inhibiting the rights of LGBT people.
The bill, which has since been signed by President Vladimir Putin, bans foreign same-sex couples and unmarried individuals in countries where same-sex marriage is legal from adopting Russian children.
