I have a gay coworker, and asked her about this just now, her response was that it would be much better to use the Olympics in Sochi as a world stage to bring more attention to the issue rather than impact the hard work of so many amateur athletes.

Something that makes a statement during the opening ceremonies, like flags or prominent gay athletes or something that is obviously promoting equality.
