So, here is a question in keeping with the original topic: Assuming that there is no boycott, how does everyone think that the Sochi Olympics are going to unfold?

Considering what has been happening at Moscow's World Athletics Championships, I think it's foreseeable that a lot of visitors in Sochi are going to openly protest Russia's new laws. The majority of people will probably not want to cause any trouble, but judging from the reaction in Europe and America right now, I don't think its a stretch to say that a large number of people probably will want to demonstrate support for gay rights. And by this, I do not mean that they will do anything outwardly harmful, but there is likely to be a lot of rainbow flags, pro-gay t-shirts, and other similar displays of "propaganda." Of course, there may even be a few (and I would not personally approve of this!) who would try to vandalize Russian buildings, by spraying them with graffiti for example.

How is Russia going to respond to this? Will Russia arrest or expel any foreigners who fly rainbow flags or otherwise spread "gay propaganda"? Or will Russia try to ignore it in an effort to avoid a huge scandal?

What are your thoughts, everyone?
