So I had a dream Placebo was in Poland and I was in Poland but the concert they made was only for people who had tickets to other concerts, which I did not. And as I wanted to go so bad, I went to their dressing rooms and waited Stefan and Brian there and when they entered I cried “I have to ask you something!” and Brian asked what and I started explaining “Well, I am from Serbia…” and he said “OH I understand! Here are two tickets, that will be 100 dinars!” (which is less than an euro) and so I met Brian and got euro-tickets just because I’m from Serbia.
…and then I woke up.
“We felt that we had to do something. We had a voice and since homosexuality is not illegal, nothing that we were to do would seriously jeopardize the tour. So for the show in Vilnius, I took to writing “homo” on my chest and in front of thousands me and Brian shared a long kiss. It was our act of public display of homosexuality, which isn’t our first time and not something that is very shocking to most of us. But it seems that a lot of work is still needed for this discrimination to disappear. In our way, we did our bit that night.”
