LA TIMES: West largely rejecting calls for Olympic boycott over Russia anti-gay law
Since President Obama said Friday that he was opposed to the idea of a boycott because of the blow that would deal to athletes who have been training for years to compete, other Western leaders have echoed that sentiment and said they wouldn’t call for their national teams to stay home from the Games in the Russian Black Sea resort....
...British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke out over the weekend in opposition to a call for a boycott by British actor Stephen Fry....
...Sebastian Coe, who won the first of his four Olympic gold medals in middle-distance running after defying a Western boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow, was back in the Russian capital over the weekend for the world athletics championships. He told reporters he remains opposed to subjecting sports competitions to political boycotts.
“I don’t think they achieve what they set out to do. They harm only one group: the athletes,” said Coe, now head of the British Olympic Assn. West largely rejecting calls for Olympic boycott over Russia anti-gay law - latimes.com
Hmmm. Will the gays push the issue? Or will the history books say, "things between the superpowers at a critical stress point in history, began rapidly unravelling all as a direct result of homosexual activists going too far unchecked with a metastisized zeal and blinders on".
Gays harp on and on forever about people being tolerant of their lifestyles and views. Yet they show the worst intolerance of those who have their own lifestyle and views different from them. Russia is a sovereign nation that has decided gay propaganda belongs nowhere near impressionable kids. They denounce homosexuality as something that is not a social value to be passed on to kids.
Good for them. Sex with the lower digestive tract is unnatural and deadly. Sex's natural function is for reproduction. Apparently the Russians have figured that out and would like to teach their children that. Kudos to Russia for caring about their kids. If Russia has gay teens, they should get them the best mental health care possible to discover when they were "tampered with" and how to undo that habituation or brainwashing if they wish it.
I think there is very much going to be a Chic-Fil-A reaction to this gay call *yawn* once again for everyone to jump up and promote their lifestyle. Russia is a weird country. I wouldn't mess with them personally. And gays are just as zealous and blind as russians are staunch. This is a situation that is potentially very volitile and dangerous for foreign relations between the US & Russia. Like we need THAT on our plate right now too...
