LGBTQ rainbow in Russia

The World

A group of LGBTQ activists travelled to Russia to attend the World Cup and started a hidden flag campaign. Wearing their countries’ soccer jerseys they stand in order and form the gay pride flag in public places. Marco Werman speaks to Eloi Pierozan Jr., one of the activists who travelled to Russia for this campaign.
