You've probably all seen this by now:

A Russian Woman Speaks Out For LGBT Rights Using A Line From A Joss Whedon Show.

That woman is our very own moscow_watcher! Dear Moscow, I am more proud than I can explain to be your friend, be it ever so remote.

And remember - The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.

She rocks, doesn't she?

[elisi]

She really does! I heard about the story, but never guessed that it would be someone I knew...

[ruuger]

Oh wow, it's her? I'd seen the video but I never thought it might be someone I know online! How cool!

[elisi]

My exact reaction! Which is why I wanted to share! :)

*uses icon Moscow always used*

Awesomeness! I'd seen the quote (but only on twitter) and didn't know it was Moscow Watcher. That is marvellous. Fandom is a) full of wonderful people and b) a force for good.

[elisi]

I am so thrilled! And yes, fandom is full of the best people! <3

Good for her!!

[elisi]

Indeed. I'm so pleased. :)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

That was AWESOME. OMG, I wanna hug her!!

And assure her that her government's behavior/views/policies DO NOT reflect upon her Country's people...

*HUGS YOU*

Thank you for this, I needed it...

[elisi]

I couldn't not share... I mean, I was going to post anyway, but finding out who she was? Impossibly wonderful!

*HUGS BACK*

So proud of her and honored to be her friend!
We've been discussing it on Russian social networks since yesterday, but it's a bit scary to mention her by nickname in there as some unsavoury people could come in and say stuff on her journal, but in the English-speaking part of the internet it should be OK to name her.

[elisi]

I was slightly worried about naming her, but since Buzzfeed spells it out I figured my LJ wouldn't make much difference... That said, LJ is of course owned by Russians. *ponders how large a portion of LJ could be said to contain gay propaganda*

Anyway, very proud of her indeed!

[gillo]

So very proud of her! She hasn't been around here much of late, but she's one of ours and I'm proud to be her friend

[elisi]

*nods*

Have been missing her, but obviously she is busy...

[silverusagi]

That's so neat!

[elisi]

Isn't it just?

I always knew she was awesome, but not by how much!

[green-maia.livejournal.com]

This brings tears to my eyes.

She is a hero.

[elisi]

She really is.

[promethia_tenk]

Awesome.

[elisi]

IKR? Fandom is the BEST!

[lokifan]

OMG that's so cool!!

[elisi]

LJ fandom has the BEST people!

[radiolaires]

This is very moving. She's wonderful, a hero is her own way.

[elisi]

And this is why art is important. (I include TV shows in that.)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

So wonderful to see :)

[elisi]

IKR? I'm still thrilled to bits!

[sea_thoughts]

I saw that, it's awesome!

[elisi]

She's done fandom very proud!
