Two members of the German rock group Rammstein kissed onstage in Moscow in defiance against Russia’s anti-LGBTQ stance.
During a performance of ‘Aüslander’, guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe moved towards each other before kissing each other.
After the gig, the band posted a picture of the kiss onto their Instagram account with the caption: “Russia, we love you!”
This isn’t the first time the two guitarists have embraced during their ongoing European tour.
They also crowdsurfed in a rubber dinghy waving a Pride flag while performing in Poland after news about violence during a Pride march.
Sorry, I may be a little bit overexaggerated about this, but:
PAUL AND RICHARD ACTUALLY KISSED! THEY FINALLY DID IT! AAAAH!!! ♥️💕♥️💕🏳️🌈#Rammstein #Paulchard pic.twitter.com/9hRRz05jac
