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.
