Remember when a Russian concert promoter was fined because a Lady Gaga concert “promoted homosexuality and alcohol consumption to minors”?
Remember when less than three months later Russia had t.A.T.u. play the Olympics opening ceremony? t.A.T.u.’s entire deal was pretending to be lesbian. I guess the Russian government is cool with being gay for pay. It also helps that one the group’s members is actually homophobic.
Well, U2 is the Russian government’s next target.
Alexander Starovoitov, a State Duma deputy, says U2’s Songs of Innocence is gay propaganda. The album cover features drummer Larry Muller Jr. hugging his son.
Starovoitov wants an investigation launched against Apple, since Apple automatically pushed the album to iPhones.

Sad part is, the US used to be just as pathetic.
Why is it sad, if they “used to be?”
Come out of the closet, Alexander Stroganoff!
That cover does look like that.
Now that it comes out that he is hugging his son, it now just looks creepy and pervy.
Yeah it is Larry Mullen with his son. Also see this video in which they talk about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13LuSqmabps
