In light of the Russian Federation's newly enacted laws against "homosexual propaganda", which extends to jailing and fining not only their own citizens but tourists as well, we the people of the United States feel that the United States should boycott the 2014 Olympics. We feel that allowing our people and athletes, who may by LGBT themselves, step within Russian territory puts them at risk of being jailed or fined simply because they are themselves. The Russian Federation has shown that they will not tolerate anything they consider to be "homosexual propaganda", which in its self is very vague and allows them to decide what "homosexual propaganda" is. If not on the grounds of protecting our citizens, the United States has a moral obligation to stand up for equal rights for all people.
