"A digital ad agency from Spain called LOLA MullenLowe recently teamed up with FELGTB, Spain's federation for LGBT rights, to take secret pride photos in Russia during the World Cup.

The photos have gone viral. The idea behind the project, called Hidden Flag, was to send a group of people from different countries to the World Cup, all dressed in different-colored football shirts."

I love how many of the shots also happen to have some official person, like a policeman, nearby, not noticing.

1. When I visited the USSR, there were military personnel all over, they seemed to have regular jobs.

I can remember seeing them running to catch a bus at the end of the day. But you weren't supposed to take photos of them. I can remember one lady taking a photo of a building and the soldier stationed out front jumping out of the way...

4. Russians can't display the LGBT flag in public?

Well, at least they get to exercise their First Amendment rights in U.S. elections.

8. According to that asshole in Chicago who harassed the

Puerto Rican woman at a park, only the US flag should be shown (or inappropriately worn).

Yes, I suspect only state flags, the confederate rag, and Old Glory will be the only flags permitted eventually if IQ45 gets a 2nd term.
