So you’ve probably already seen this video. But if you haven’t, or you just like to rewatch ladies share loving kisses after winning gold medals, please enjoy. Or if you still have lingering warm fuzzy feelings about “The Cutting Edge,” but wish D.B. Sweeney stood for Danielle Bernard instead, this is the video for you. I’m still torn about what to do when the Sochi Olympics roll around. But I am not torn about how terrible the anti-LGBT laws in Russia are.
In a week when we had a victory in the Senate (vote coming on ENDA, though the House continues to be The Worst) and in Illinois (about to become No. 15 for marriage equality), we must not forget that the fight continues on all fronts and across all borders.
I am torn about Sochi too. I don't want to feel like I am supporting it but at the same time it's once every four years, how can I not watch it?

South Africa was banned from the Olympic Games for many years because of discriminating against people based on their race. Why not do the same to countries who discriminate against people because of their sexuality? And it worked today we have a free and democratic society.
