Madonna’s first tour in Russia drew the ire of orthodox Christian activists.
Now she vows to defy a new law against promoting homosexuality, when she performs in President-elect Vladimir Putin’s hometown in August:
"I will come to St. Petersburg to speak up for the gay community and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels oppressed", the pop star said by e-mail late yesterday.
"I’m a freedom fighter."
"I don’t run away from adversity", Madonna, who has used her fame to support gay rights, said in the e-mail.
"I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity."
