idopaint-themgreen:the-fury-of-a-time-lord:lgbtqblogs:Two brides have become two of the most kickass women in the world by marrying to protest against homophobia in Russia.Alina Davis, a 23-year-old trans woman, and Allison Brooks, her 19-year-old partner, donned matching white floor-length bridal gowns and married at a civil registry office earlier this month.As Davis is still legally regarded as male, the office had no choice but to hand them a marriage certificate.The couple said officials chided them, and appeared to be violent.‘She called us the shame of the family and said we need medical treatment … I was afraid my pussycat [an affectionate pet name in Russian] would beat the fuck out of her,’ Davis said on her VK page.But the couple were allowed to sign the papers, meaning a gay couple in Russia are legally recognized as married – even if it’s through a loophole. ‘This is an important precedent for Russia,’ Davis said.Russia banned same-sex marriage and outlawed ‘gay propaganda’ in 2013.holy jesus look at these two warrior princessesthey are my heroesYOU GO GIRLS“Oh, you don’t wanna recognize my gender?
