If your local law enforcement passed laws forbidding you and your wife from holding hands in public, would holding hands anyhow somehow cheapen the act itself and the affection behind it? Or were you and your partner thrust into the political arena through no choice of your own?
I agree. The gay community is what, 1.3% of the population? One that "just wants to be equal" but seem to want a whole lot more than 1.3% of the spotlight. It's getting annoying actually. We get it, your gay. Good for you. Now can we get back to everything else?
The law is used to arrest homosexuals and allow LGBT activists to be dehumanized.
so your real problem is how russia deals with activists who disagree with the government IN GENERAL, not just for this specific issue.
and if there is a gay person in russia who is in jail JUST for being gay then that is outrageous and wrong. I just haven't heard of any such cases. Feel free to enlighten me.
Flying the LGBT flag instead of the city/province/Canadian flag is making a point because of the Olympics.

So why don't you just offer the same protections others have and be done with it. The gay population is 3% but probably higher and growing.
Because it's not my issue. I'm more concerned with things like Constitutional rights and trying to stay ahead of an anti business administration.

The cities of St. John's, Quebec City, and Montreal will fly the rainbow LGBT flag to protest the treatment of gays in Russia for the duration of the Olympics in Sochi.
This article can be found at the Montreal Gazette.
I hope more cities will choose to protest the anti-gay laws in Russia by doing this. Hopefully we can get more Canadian cities to do it as well as some American cities. Do you think that your/nearest city would raise the LGBT flag?
Fly the American flag with 13 stars. It's the ultimate symbol of freedom and liberty. That way everyone, who's rights are being oppressed and not just one politically correct group.
But it is an issue that needs to be solved. Just support passing it then.
Wanna trade? I could use some help getting a bunch of asshats to understand that SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is pretty damned simple and is not open to discussion.

There wouldn't be a giant political issue about this if conservatives would just support gay rights. If it is not a big deal why not just support it?
Sounds like a winner to me!eace :lamo
I feel the same way about infringement. BTW few years back there was a referendum vote on gay marriage here in Georgia. It was on the ballot with a bunch of other stuff and I did support it. How do you feel about open carry?
Well it isn't to those who respect the rights and freedoms of others.

I personally do not support any kind of carry, preferring to keep our status-quo.
I have no respect for perverts.
its a nice gesture but id like to see more
what SHOULD be done is going forward in the future any country that has such bigoted laws should simply be ineligible for the olympics
