A German Drag Queen

[b] Sewed Her Lips Shut To Protest Russia’s Anti-Gay Law[img]http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/8/2/14/enhanced-buzz-16069-1375468616-24.jpg[/img][/b]



Barbie Breakout, a well-known German drag queen and DJ, has had it with Russia’s [url="http://www.buzzfeed.com/saeedjones/18-ways-to-get-arrested-in-russia-for-being-gay-or-gay-adjac"]anti-gay propaganda law[/url]. In a video entitled “Open Your Mouth,” Breakout stares into the camera for a moment and then begins to sew her mouth shut with a needle and cotton thread. It’s painful to watch but, of course, that’s the point.
“The pain I felt inside when I had to see in the media what is happening in Russia was greater than the physical pain of the needle. My partner held the camera while I did it. But he couldn’t look,” Breakout told [url="http://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article118574071/Barbie-Breakout-naeht-sich-aus-Protest-Mund-zu.html"]Die Welt[/url]. “In my youth I had more holes in an ear than through my mouth in this performance. Apart from a small bruise on my left upper lip, everything has healed up again. It was about symbolism, not about self-harm.”
