The music video for "All the Things She Said" features Yulia and Lena wearing Catholic school uniforms, singing together in the rain and snow. The two eventually kiss behind a chain fence, on the other side of which there is a crowd of onlookers. It seems like the crowd is watching these two lesbian girls who feel they are trapped within their emotions. The video ends when the girls go around the corner of the building, and off into the distance as the rain clears, revealing that the onlookers are the real captives — of ignorance.
This is ten years old, fuck

When asked during a recent TV appearance if she would "condemn" her son if he was gay, Yulia Volkova, former member of the Russian girl band t.A.T.u, shocked fans by saying that "yes," she absolutely would.
"A man must be a man," she told the host of the Ukrainian TV show "Lie Detector," as the audience cheered. Volkova added that God created man for the sake of "procreation."
The singer also appears to have said that a man has "no right to be a faggot." The slur was beeped out of video.
However, Volkova -- who became famous for openly kissing her bandmate Lena Katina on stage -- said that she'd be OK with it if her daughter was a lesbian.
"It seems to me that lesbians look aesthetically much nicer than two men holding their hands or kissing," she said on the show, according to The Independent.
Volkova told Russia's MK newspaper in 2012 that she likes both "boys and girls." As a member of t.A.T.u., she was once known for celebrating inclusion and championing LGBT rights.
"Our slogan is to love and it's not important whom to love," Volkova said in a 2006 interview, per the Independent. "We want to say that a boy can love a boy and a girl can love a girl. If all people would love each other, it would be easier to live in this world. If people are led by hatred and evil, nothing good would happen from this."
As a video of Volkova's comments went viral this week before being removed from YouTube, the 29-year-old singer was roundly slammed by many former fans.
"Good to know one of my idols is a complete homophobe, despite her and [Lena Katina] being a beacon of hope for LGBT in Russia," wrote one YouTuber Thursday after watching a clip of Volkova's comments. "I guess Yulia has become exactly what she preached against."
"I'm extremely disappointed," wrote another.
