Gay Rights[edit]
Composer Andrew Rudin launched a petition that has garnered more than 9,000 signatures [29] requesting the Met dedicate its black-tie gala to LGBT people. The petition noted that Tchaikovsky, a gay Russian composer, was being performed by artists who supported a Russian government that had passed antigay laws. Moreover, the performance featured two well-known Russian artists, the conductor Valery Gergiev and the soprano Anna Netrebko, both of whom are unabashed and enthusiastic Putin supporters. [30] Gay Rights Protest Greeted Opening Night at the Met,[31] [32]a protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s new anti-gay laws.
The Met declined, instead issuing a general statement [33]in support of LGBT people.
