not attend the Sochi Olympics in boycot of the Russian parliament & their violations of human rights against minorities.

Created by J.A. on December 16, 2013

This past summer, Russia created laws that put the LGBT community in danger and they can now be imprisoned solely based on their sexual identity. In fact, Russia disallows any foreign country that recognizes same-sex unions, or affords adoption rights to gay couples, from adopting in a Russian child. These are not the values the Olympics should uphold and should be seen as a disgrace by any corporation or government who are attending, funding, or allowing the games to continue in such a hostile environment towards any individual. I am asking that the Obama administration take a stand by not attending the Sochi Olympics this year. Send a message that intolerance shall not be celebrated.
