Well, I for one do not support a boycott.
I would like to see gay athletes perform FABULOUSLY in Sochi with their heads held high! I hope they win some gold and break some stereotypes!
Too many people confuse pedophilia with homosexuality and it is patently NOT the same thing.
A pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to small children. Pedophiles can be straight or gay. In fact, I had a "discussion" with one pedophile (a Russian heterosexual man) right here at MR who openly (and proudly!) stated that he likes to go to Thailand and pay for sex with girls under the age of 13. He said that he prefers girls before they "ripen" and that a man should try to marry a little girl before she reaches puberty, so that he can "mold her" to himself. And he thinks that is "natural." He even bragged about how many virgins he has "deflowered" - one of them, he said, was just nine years old.
Of course, I was disgusted and horrified at this individual's blatant advocacy of pedophilia and I blocked him. But I know that a lot of people would agree with him and see absolutely nothing wrong with forcing a little girl to have sex - while at the same time denouncing homosexuality as "unnatural" and "evil" and "harmful to children." This reasoning makes no sense to me.
Those of you who claim to be worried about your kids, are going after the wrong group of people.
I could understand laws against pedophilia because pedophiles sexually ABUSE children! But if adults want to have gay sex with other adults, why should anyone care? It's hypocritical to be all up in arms about gays while turning a blind eye to pedophiles. And pedophilia is rampant in the Russian Orthodox Church, just as it is in the Catholic Church, as Alexander Nevzorov recently pointed out.
