Subj : Why I am not watching the olympics in 2014

Here is some words from famous playwright and actor Harvey Firestein.
It's time to start paying attention to what's going on in Russia in case you
haven't yet. Putin has declared war on the gay community. He's made it illegal
to promote homosexuality in theater, film, tv, print that in any way could be
seen by youth. In other words anything gay is now pornography.
He's outlawed the adopting of Russian children to any country that has
legalized marriage equality.
And now it is reported that his next law will remove the children of GLBT
families from their homes. This will apply to biological children as well as
formerly adopted ones.
This is a horror. Not only for our community but even for straight families.
Already divorced parents are threatening one another with blackmail to tell
authorities that their ex is now gay just to control parental rights.
Putin wants this attack against human rights to be his legacy. He believes he
can get the backing of the Vatican as well as all other conservative religious
leaders to join his cause.
What can we do? Make his actions and his plans public. Shine the light of
public opinion on this evil doer.
Boycott the Winter Olympics in Russia. Believe me, Putin will use the Olympics
as proof that the world backs up his action. There are only two ways to deal
with a tyrant: Starve out the rat, or destroy him.
So, my friends, do your research and then GET LOUD AGAINST PUTIN AND HIS
ANTI-GAY POGROM. This is a very small world. Our brothers and sisters in Russia
need us NOW!
