This thread is so emotionally charged as to be totally defunct. I'm strongly on the side of supporting LGBT equality, opposing the law in Russia and would be proud to have Canada or individual Canadian athletes making some kind of visible protest at the Olympics, but even I'm hesitant to post in this thread for fear of accusations that I'm a backward bigot because I'm willing to accept that my moral position is not absolute and that people whose moral views regarding gays are negative should still be entitled to express them and argue for them as long as they are not inciting violence.
