Google debuted its latest "doodle" on Thursday evening, just one day before the Sochi Olympics opening ceremonies, and the company seems to be taking a stand against Russia's anti-gay "propaganda" law.
The main point the company wants to make, it seems, is being against discrimination. Below the search box, Google has this text taken from the Olympic Charter:
"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play."
google.ru has it too, so, basically, there's no shade
besides, there was said (by government representatives) that it's all about sport, so gay athletes may not worry, they will be guarded of possible... hmmm... excesses

#funfact: t.A.T.u are performing on the opening of the Olympics. By the way, Russian version of "All The Thing She Said" contains lyrics that are translated like "I went crazy, I need her" (and yes, this version is much more like an ode to lesbianism than English one, and it was viral hit in Russia back in early 2000s)

It'll be cute to see them carted out of the stadium in handcuffs for violating Putin's new "anti-gay propaganda" law then, won't it?

And you are totally ignoring the fact that lesbians are more accepted than gay men?
Two straight men don't real have problems with seeing two females kissing...
google ain't playing.
That would make history, not Gaga's messy blahs.
