Selena Gomez Forced to Cancel Shows After Russia Bans Her Over Gay Rights


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 sexual 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.
