Seven gay men staged a "flashmob" in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on May 17 in conjunction with IDAHO, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
They gathered near the KazakhTelecom building and handed out flyers and released rainbow balloons into the sky.
A report from the participants said other gay people watched the action unfold "from afar."
