There’s a stairwell in the city of Tomsk that, until recently, was covered in filth. The patients at the Family Medicine Center, a nearby fertility clinic, got tired of walking past people smoking and drinking in the stairwell, so the clinic decided to do something about it, repainting the area in bright rainbow colors.
Enter Alexey Shpomer, a local right-wing activist, who has appealed to the mayor, complaining that his beloved stairway has been transformed into a symbol of gay pride.
