Selena Gomez has to cancel two shows planned
for next week in Russia as the country will not
allow her into the country based on her support of
gay rights.
Selena had been scheduled to perform in St. Petersburg
on September 23 and in Moscow on September 25.
According to The Moscow Times, ”authorities in Russia
have decided to make entry more difficult for foreign
performers following Madonna and Lady Gaga’s open
advocacy for LGBT equality in the wake of that country’s
controversial law banning the promotion of
“nontraditional s*xual relationships.”
Lady Gaga slammed the Russian government for what
she described as its “criminal” stance on gay citizens,
and Madonna is currently being sued for her support of
the LGBT community.
Organizers have been forced to scrap the Selena shows.
