Also, if the vast majority of Russians find this offensive, then it's completely in line with a true democracy (most will probably confuse a democracy with a republic so read up on that if you want to argue that in a democracy minority rights are 100% guaranteed - in a democracy majority rules). At the end of the day everyone has to comply with laws and stay out of trouble. I don't disrespect gays and conversations end if sexuality is brought up - as that's rude. I comply with Canadian laws and even my own religious beliefs by respecting them but disagreeing with them on this issue. Considering this "community" has overwhelmingly large STD rates, that's a great risk to everyone's health. At the same time they could technically still do what they do in Russia, but they have to comply with Russian laws, just like anywhere else. If it means that much to them then they should move.
The olympics - are merely a commercial sporting event that shouldn't even exist or receive taxpayer money. If you want a rainbow patch, why does that take precedent over an anti-NSA patch or an anti-Federal Reserve patch? It's very ignorant for this group to steal attention from issues that are costing people their lives; and if you put a patch on olympic uniforms just for this group, then our national jerseys will end up looking like european hockey jerseys with tens of advert patches.

Nah bro, you should probably apologise.
I mean hey, people who supported Hitler looked awfully bad after it was all said and done. So you're about on the level with a nazi sympathiser. Congrats.
