Tilda Swinton has appeared in a number of films,
including Burn After Reading, The Beach, The Chronicles of Narnia,
and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performances in The Deep
End and We Need to Talk About Kevin. She won the Academy Award for
Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Michael Clayton in
2007.
She risked
arrest waving a rainbow flag in front of the Kremlin in violation of
Russia’s new homosexual propaganda bill. And she wants everyone who
can to share it in solidarity.
In the Chronicles of Narnia, she played Jadis, the snow queen. Her willingness to defy the Kremlin is to be applauded when the Olympic Committee seems to be dragging its feet over a clear violation of human rights.
The targeting of the gay community by the Kremlin might be a way of diverting attention from the shortcomings of the regime. I wonder.
