Madonna Answers St Petersburg's Controversy:

I'm a freedom fighter.
My show
My songs
My work
My art
Is all about freedom of expression
Freedom to choose to speak to act
Always with humanity and compassion
I will come to St. Petersburg to speak up for the gay community, to support the gay community and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels opressed. 
I don't run away from adversity.
I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity.
