After being urged to cancel a scheduled concert in St. Petersburg, Russia, because of the city’s recently passed "gay propaganda" law, Madonna announced that she would use the show as an opportunity to speak out against the anti-gay legislation.
"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 singer told Bloomberg Businessweek in an email. "I don’t run away from adversity. I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity."
