Thread: Sochi Olympics and the Law against Gays in Russia +

I'm just asking you to re-examine your own thoughts.

I will not "стоп-стоп" supporting gay rights in my country. And if Russia has laws which make it illegal for me to wear something as innocent as a rainbow on my nails, I probably won't travel there any time soon. It makes me sad, because I love Russia. But at the same time, I have friends who are gay and I support them. I am not ever going to stop supporting them.

In my younger years, I was as homophobic as you are. I also thought it was a sickness, or something they could change. My thinking evolved. Like I said, talk to me again in 20 years.

reality check

After 7 hours of detention, activists were not charged with “propaganda”, but with articles of St. Petersburg administrative code 19.3 (non-compliance with police requests) and 20.2 (participation in illegal demonstration) and released.
