Lady Gaga has become the latest celebrity caught up in
a legal wrangle in Russia
after she was accused of promoting gay rights to minors at a concert on Sunday.
Politician
Vitaly Milonov is threatening to take legal action against the pop superstar,
claiming she broke laws that ban gay "propaganda" during a weekend
show in St. Petersburg.
He says,
"We saw that in addition to music, songs and such, there were direct calls
for 12-year-old citizens to support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender) community."
Prior to the
gig, Milonov called on authorities to prevent teenagers under 18 from attending
Lady Gaga's show.
Unfazed by the
drama, Lady Gaga's upcoming gig in Moscow
on Wednesday is expected to go ahead as planned.
Earlier this year, Milonov went after Madonna after she allegedly
promoted homosexuality at a concert in August. A St.Petersburg
court rejected the compensation claim against her.
