Relocate then. People's lives will be in danger because Russia is being a prick about the issue. And no doubt even straight athletes would boycott the Olympics and just the whole thing would backfire on them.
They are technically meddling with the Olympic Games themselves. They could use their laws to rig the games and give their country an unfair advantage.
They could arrest Olympians who they 'suspect' of being gay, just so it makes things hard for the athlete and the country.
If this law is against "gay propaganda" then why would gay people be detained for being gay? They're not necessarily spreading gay propaganda for being gay...
I also read somewhere else people in suspicion of being gay will be arrested too and that's just dumb. What if someone who's actually straight gets arrested? Either way a country with these kinds of laws shouldn't be hosting such a large scale sporting event in this century. I really hope their government actually gets rid of this law instead of the Olympics committee actually having to cancel or postpone this event because it wouldn't be fair for the athletes who practiced really hard
I highly doubt they'd have an American performing at their opening ceremony in the first place. The entertainment portion of that night is dedicated to the culture of the host country.
these people are awful
