Russian Tourist Postcards Promote Gay Equality

Sealed With A Kiss: Gay Equality Campaign In Russia Shows Couples Kissing On Postcards

When a law was recently passed in Russia to prevent displays of public affection between LBTQI couples across eight major cities, one website decided to take action.

Colta.ru, a Russian arts and culture website, used social media networks to ask for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples to take part in a photography project to rebel against the new law.

We've got some of the photos in a gallery below, what do you think - is this a good way to rebel against the law?
