Selena Gomez banned from russia for supporting gay rights

International popstar, Selena Gomez has been banned from entering Russia for promoting gay rights through her music.

Selena was scrapped of two concerts scheduled to hold in the country after falling foul of new visa rules which critics say can be used to keep out Western artists who promote gay rights.

Russia was said to have brought the new laws after official concern was shown over two concerts in Russia at which Madonna and Lady Gaga defended gay rights, and a gig in neighbouring Ukraine where the lead singer of U.S. group Bloodhound Gang stuffed a Russian flag down his trousers.
