Gay Athletes Could Be Prosecuted at 2014 Winter Olympics, Russian Lawmaker Suggests

Re: Gay Athletes Could Be Prosecuted at 2014 Winter Olympics, Russian Lawmaker Sugges

I can't help but wonder how the Russians plan to test athletes for gayness.

Just change the dancer to Baryshnikov

Те, гомосексуалисты являются частью лучшей военной силой на планете.

A picture does not change that.

Here we go again - another opportunity for the west, led by the United States, to boycott an Olympic Games being held in Russia, to be followed by a boycott of the next Olympic Games to be held in the United States. There was some initial talk about boycotting because Snowden being in Russia, but this seems to be more attractive as a reason.
Yea, the gay agenda is WAY more important than a turn coat traitor being protected in Russia.:doh

A few soldiers goofing around somehow disproves of the supremacy of the US military?

So Russian soldiers being fed dog food proves what?

I could give a rat's ass what Russian laws are concernging homosexuality. I don't agree with homosexuals being arrested simply because they are homosexuals, but it's their country. However, when they start threatening the safety of any gay athlete in the Olympics, yes, I think that should be boycotted. It's not about the "gay agenda" its about the safety of any Olympic athlete that's gay. If they change their tune, great. Otherwise, boycott their ass.

Tell me, would you want the Olympics being held in a country that said "Women couldn't be athletes or they would be arrested, including foreign athletes"? I doubt you would, and I know I sure in the hell wouldn't.

As for Snowden, while I want to see that little prick behind bars Russia is free to do what they like. How many Russian citizens did we take in that broke Soviet Laws? Plenty. My main concern with Snowden is I wonder if for "terms of asylum" he handed over his laptop and other media of classified material.

The way that some of you talk about Jimmy Carter here at DP, one would swear he was the most evil and vile person ever.

Nope, he was a nice man, he was an honest man, but he was a lousy President. Admittedly that was a tough time, but his agenda was wrong.

Thank you. I no laughed so hard for a long time. So to speak - "the supremacy of the US military". Very funny. Bravo.

Thank you for being reasonable. And yes, some items on his agenda were wrong, but he did some things right that people tend to forget. Just image how much more powerful the US would be had the push towards generating renewable energy had the chance to develop?

I'd give him excellent grades on many areas of domestic policy, myself.

His foreign policy not so much.

Agreed. Though his foreign policy proved to be a big asset to his charity work.

He was the first to try ME peace, but it eventually failed to materialize. Arafat was the wrong man, and didn't deserve a Peace Prize. Arafat was an instigator, not an administrator. He could never be part of a peaceful existence. So I give Carter credit for trying, but he was not a very good judge of character.

That tends to occur mainly with western nations' athletes I remember watching the 88 winter games (which the USA had the men's champion, Debi Thomas was close in the ladies but Grinkov and Gordeeva destroyed the US pair) and Peggy Fleming noted the reason why the Russians almost always won the pairs was because the man "wasn't faking it"

That's actually a very good point by Fleming. It's kind of like watching a Broadway show that has a love interest. You know in real life that the guy couldn't possibly love her because he's boinking the guy next to her in real life.

Versus what? Russia's last victory was over a country 35 times smaller than them. Tell me, how long did the wars in Chechnya last? A couple months before the 'Mighty' Russian military crushed them, or several years?


Russia is a mess. A horrible crime rate, corruption at nearly every level. There's a reason Russian cars are so often carrying dash cameras.

Well, it did start all that Saudi money flowing his way ;).
 
Re: Gay Athletes Could Be Prosecuted at 2014 Winter Olympics, Russian Lawmaker Sugges

From the source:


The chance Russia will actually enforce the law during the Olympics approaches zero. It would be a painfully stupid move on their part.

I agree ... they should simply treat the Olympics as international space ... But I'd advise the gay athletes not to venture too far from the site or to be very careful ...

I don't know him personally, so I wouldn't Judge his character. But he was one of the worst Presidents ever and he is certainly the worst ex-President ever.
 
Re: Gay Athletes Could Be Prosecuted at 2014 Winter Olympics, Russian Lawmaker Sugges

Did anyone pay attention to what the Russian law is? It's about promoting non-traditional sexual behavior in front of minors. No one will get arrested for being gay. But if you can't leave your homosexual activist schtick at home, you might get hassled. If you're there to compete, compete. If you want to turn the Olympics into your personal homosexual advocacy soapbox, you might end up in jail with the Soviet version of Bubba, not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
 
Re: Gay Athletes Could Be Prosecuted at 2014 Winter Olympics, Russian Lawmaker Sugges

From what I have heard, the Olympics, filled with late teen and 20 something men and women with little supervision is something of a wild party. If only I was young and fit and talented...

I might settle for one, or two of those, let alone all three!
