But I do think this is kinda over the top. It happens in America too and they should at least help clean up the mess when they finish. I mean, I understand that he's a leading activist but they didn't arrest him so he shouldn't be unfairly punished with a huge mess to clean up. And why take the electronic stuff when they could just download even terabyte HDD's and SSD's onto flash drives?

And this is way over the top! Like the Coca-Cola comany would really suffer if gays didn't drink cokes, lol!

I'm trying to stay open about all this but if the west has gay reporters to cover the games, I'll watch the games on Russian TV!

Two examples of English gay slang that seem appropriate here:

"Oh, Mary, please..." (sarcastically expresses Серьёзно?!, or С меня хватит! -- a bit old-fashioned, but still heard)
drama queen -- someone who is ALWAYS "over-the-top"

Neither of these seems to have equivalents in Russian gay slang, however. (But English speakers might be interested to know that "Он в теме?" is basically equivalent to "Is he a friend of Dorothy?" -- i.e., a coded way of saying "Is he gay?")
