Call to move the Winter Olympics

[LadyGunSlinger]

Did any of you butt bangers or c_nt hummerz pack your bags and fly off to Russia yet? I'm sure Putin is shaking in his cowboy boots.. ( Bet he has some) LOL

Why don't ya' just have your own Gay Olympics?

We do...the Gay Games. But don't you think there are Olympians who are gay and spectators who are gay? Should they not participate? Should they go and be arrested? Should they hide in the closet...again?

They should go and obey the laws of the host nation.

you dont understand what a boycott is do you?

More and more people and organizations are calling upon the IOC to move the 2014 Winter Olympics out of Russia due to Russia's new laws on Homosexuality.

What do you think, considering that there are most likely gay athletes and spectators and Russia has threatened to arrest, detain, then deport anyone who even appears to support gays in any way.

If the Olympics had never been held in China, where they force abortions on their citizens, then I might have gotten behind moving them from Russia because of the gays. As it stands, no way. China is much worse on their citizens and visitors and the Olympics ignored that. Why shouldn't they ignore this? Is being gay more important than having a 2nd child? Is it more important than having that child killed at 8 months because the government doesn't want you to have it? Is it more important than the prisoners being killed in order to harvest and sell their organs? Sorry, the Olympics lost any of the respect they had from me when they held their games in China. I don't give a crap about them anymore.

you could have called for a boycott of china as well...somehow i doubt you did.

Russia is an independent country and entitled to make laws it sees fit.

It is highly doubtful that American homosexuals are going to be able to have any bearing on Russian laws.

Of course not, but if they really did move it from there, I bet they would suck a few dicks to get it back.

Unless you are a male from the south, YOU LOOK LIKE A FOOL IN COWBOY BOOTS.

The ego of protesting hosting countries laws is staggering. Suck it up, get over there and compete. Fight whatever issue on your own time and where it actually makes some kind of impact on your own life.

This is whiny bullshit.

this is their own time moron.

So, have we figured-out yet that this pansy-assed, whiney-bitch bullshit isn't gonna cut it with the Rooskies?

Who gives a fuck.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Next thing we know is every advocacy group in the US is going to demand we boycott every single country with which he have cultural differences.
The arrogance of some Americans is astounding.
Like no one knew that Russians look upon homosexuality in a different way.
Shall we stop all trade with nations who do not agree with everything we do or vice versa?
Where does it end? How thin can the human skin get?

It should be moved - why would a gay athlete want to attend?

 

[thereisnospoon]

The law most relevant to the Winter Olympics is one which allows Russian authorities to detain tourists or foreign nationals who are gay or pro-gay for up to 14 days.

“An athlete of nontraditional sexual orientation isn’t banned from coming to Sochi,” Russia’s sports minister Vitaly Mutko said in an interview last Thursday. “But if he goes out into the streets and starts to propagandize, then of course he will be held accountable.”



Sounds like the 1936 Berlin Olympics

It does, doesn't it?

In 1936, we had to "hide" our Jewish athletes so not to offend the Nazi hosts

Seems the same in Russia. Gays can go, but just don't advertise your presence

There was only two Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller.
They were benched in favor of Ralph Metcalfe and Jesse Owens in the 4X100 relay.
Many said it was to save Hitler the embarrassment of seeing jewish runners getting medals over the "superior race"....Funny thing was Metcalfe and Owens were black.
Both runners won medals. And that more than likely infuriated the Fuhrer. Fuck 'em
This is different.
Once again liberal activists in the US are attempting to foist their views on a sovereign nation. And these are the same people who scream in opposition to the US involving itself in the internal conflicts of other nations.

"...It should be moved - why would a gay athlete want to attend?"

Given that sexual orientation demographics show an approximate 3% of any given population as LGBT, why would the other 97% want to bother moving it? A tempest in a teapot.

I guess that's what they decided about the Jewish athletes in 1936 too....how'd that work out?

Wasn't it the Dutch from the King on down who put on yellow stars of David when the Nazis started rounding up the Jews in the Netherlands?

Although a nice story, I believe its legend only. Didn't actually happen.

ETA: however, yes the Dutch were relentless, even defiant in expressing their anit-Nazi position.

Horseshit analogy that ain't sellin' on Main Street, I fear... just as well... folks have grown weary of the miniscule LGBT community hoggin' the limelight in a manner vastly disproportionate to either their numbers or their importance... yawn... next casus belli, please...
