Vincent utilized his fierce dance techniques and strong moral values in his performance condemning war criminals, coupled with assertive look and riling buildup, almost snatching the whole crown!

You can always find links how to donate to Ukraine in our bio and highlights, and a link for Palestine support actions in Latvia on our campsite!

Please, repost and share. We urgently need your help! Don’t leave us alone, we were already attacked, tortured, and detained by police. We are being constantly harassed by homophones that work with the local government. We can’t allow this to go without consequences.

Urgent appeal to people in Europe! Your help can save lives! Send a letter to urge your country’s and EU politicians to hold Kazakhstan accountable for aiding Russian sanction evasion and to take a firm stand against human rights violations, femicide, and the systemic persecution of the LGBTQ+ community, including similar to the Russian anti-queer law that is about to be adopted.
