Then there's one more question that you will definitely face if you do those patches:

WHY RUSSIA?

You can argue till you are blue in your face, that this law violates human rights, but there are many countries where you will be senteced to death for the mere fact that you are gay. How comes you ignore death penalty for homosexuality in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania and other countries? Why are you up in arms to save Russian LGBT from $150 fine yet you do nothing to save arabian gays from death? Russia may be the host of the next Olympics, but what exactly prevents you from wearing anti-Arabia patches in Russia? Olympics are broadcasted globally and even if you wear anti-Russian patches in Russia, 99% of Russians will only see them on TV anyway. Aside from obvious yet right questions such as "How many people died of hunger while you were preparing rainbow patches" and "How many medicines for dying children you could buy with cash you spent on this campaign", there are even stronger ones. Even if you somehow happen to think that LGBT rights are more important than world poverty and cancer, how on earth are you going to convince people that $150 fine is more evil, than death sentence? You are now hell bent to prove that it violates human rights, while being ignorant and blind to screaming violations of human rights, including LGBT rights, in other countries. Isn't it because you are a bit biased against Russia? Or could it be that corporations are afraid to lose Russian gay market? I mean, if you save gay from death sentence in some african jungle, he will not come to spend money on local gay clubs and gay porn. Such a strange selectiveness will make people question your underlying motives.
