Putin On The Ritz
 
If you're gay or support equal rights. Stay away from Putin's Russia. It's open season on our rainbow brothers and sisters.

Boycott their Winter Olympics. Who needs this shit in the 21st century.

I hope every Olympic medal winner flies the Rainbow Flag over this.:)

The Russian people don't like it much either, they were liking the new rights they had gotten. Time for Putin to call it a day and go on a nice Russia motorcycle trip and get to know the Russian public.

If he is going to that region then I believe he would go to South Ossetia or Abkhazia where a huge welcome would be in order. :D

NFW. Every potential Olympic host has policies that others would be willing to boycott over. The Olympics are supposed to be a place to get together and forge bonds through sport while forgetting politics. There are plenty of countries who might be willing to boycott us over our foreign policy or the death penalty.

My dad was against the '80 boycott because 'those young men and women trained hard and shouldn't be used for politics'.

They won't light a torch for these games, they'll just throw a match in the river. :)

Mine too. "Now, that's a damn shame. Like the commies are going to throw in the towel just because we didn't show up at the Olympics....."
