(AFP) Some of London's biggest gay venues are boycotting Russian vodka including "Stolichnaya" with headquarters in Luxembourg as part of a global movement to highlight the Kremlin's anti-gay laws.

The G-A-Y Group, which runs the famous Heaven superclub, is among those removing Russian products after President Vladimir Putin's government banned "gay propaganda" and cracked down on gay rights protests.
