Selena Gomez doesn't talk about gay rights very much. I don't follow her every move so I can't remember when she has discussed it or if she has even come out in support of gay marriage. Apparently Moscow isn't sure of Selena's stance either and denied her a visa to perform in the country for two shows that were scheduled for next week. The shows, which would have earned her close to $1M had to be canceled. Because of the new gay propaganda laws in the country, the government is afraid of artists from outside the country delivering messages that are pro gay or pro gay marriage. What they should have realized is that Selena is a toe the line kind of person who does not do anything that would get her in trouble. She would have kept her mouth shut and earned the paychecks. She could have also gone the route that Lady GaGa and Madonna did which is to come into the country as tourists and then play shows.
In response to the anti gay laws in Russia, Cher has canceled her shows set for during the Winter Olympics but Elton John is going to play a lot of shows and says he won't talk about gay issues during his shows or while he is in the country. I guess he needs the money.
