There is horrible human suffering all over the world...but I have no problem identifying one issue and discussing it. Even if it is undoubtably less horrible than other situations.
Thus you sir are correct when you argue that there are worse problems in the world. However, its been the general consensus that a problem does not have to be the worst to be worthy of attention.
Russia's Anti-gay legislation, the Olympics and the way Athletes choose to highlight the issue of institutionalized discrimination are the main themes of this conversation.

Get your own house in order before you meddle with internal affairs of another country. Living in Canada, a country that supports the US acting as al-queda's air force is something to be ashamed of.
Read Dale Carnegie - if you want someone to change, you don't begin with an insult. Likewise - you don't insult the Russians by supporting terrorists attacking Syria, and then expect them to accept radical social views.
