Obama to meet gay activists in Russia - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

President Obama will meet with several LGBT groups during his trip later this week to St. Petersburg, a move likely to ruffle Russian President Vladimir Putin after the recent passage of a series of anti-gay laws.

The president will meet with human rights activists Lev Ponomarev and Lyudmila Alexeyeva, legal aid NGO director Pavel Chikov, and Coming Out, a St. Petersburg-based LGBT organization, according to a report in BuzzFeed.

The decision to meet with the activists in not unprecedented — Obama also met with human rights leaders in 2009 — but comes amid a period of heightened tension with the Kremlin.

Hopefully Putin prevents it and tells Obama to stay out of his business.

It definitely could defy the letter of the law.

He should have a beer with Snowden while visiting. ;)

Good grief. How arrogant and condescending can one man be?

Someone ought to let Obama know that when Putin gets into a fight, he doesn't run to his office to play spades with his aides.

That's easy for you to say, when you're not being persecuted.
