I mean, I can barely even comprehend the level of oppressive hatred that the Russian government it guilty of currently. It doesn't seem comprehensible that such events could be occurring in the 21st century. Alas, I know not to be naive enough to believe it only occurs here. <br /><br />I personally believe that something should absolutely be done. And to put it better into words I recommend reading an open letter to the British government and the Olympic committee written by Stephen Fry ( gay celebrity, actor,genius, comedian). He puts the sentiments into better words than I could ever hope to. <br /><br />http://www.stephenfry.com/2013/08/07/an-open-letter-to-david-cameron-and-the-ioc/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727133295189025309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-59008940730003310502013-08-07T04:27:45.821-07:002013-08-07T04:27:45.821-07:00I do know when people work together change can hap...I do know when people work together change can happen.

She is promoting and apart of one of the most homophobic chuches in the Us and Canada. Yet she is on a show that is LGBT friends. Still you have no reply. You've said nothing. Is it because you like the actress and are giving her a pass? <br /><br />Where is your integrity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-13254426996689955442013-08-06T10:46:10.541-07:002013-08-06T10:46:10.541-07:00I am of the opinion that all athelete allies shoul...I am of the opinion that all athelete allies should wear rainbow armbands. Not necessarily when they compete but During the opening ceremony, when they get their medals, during interviews... Armbands dont get in the way of your uniform and are very visible (specially if they are rainbow colored) Carmen SanDiegonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-74721880310055750342013-08-06T08:47:32.081-07:002013-08-06T08:47:32.081-07:00This article really resonates with me as I live in...This article really resonates with me as I live in a muslim country whereby just even holding hands with my gf could get us thrown into jail. Sometimes I read the LGBT wins we have online in so many different countries and I picture what it would be like if we had it here. <br /><br />Sadly, I don't think this would happen in my life time..but I can't imagine leaving this country without changing it just a little to make it easier for the next generation - so that they wouldn't be made to feel so isolated, different, so undeserving of love the way I've always felt all my life. <br /><br />I have always lived vicariously via the U.S. fight for equality. It gives me hope that one day I would be able to feel safe just holding my girl's hands in public. That we no longer have to keep our love a secret in fear of repercussions cause she is the most amazing woman I have ever met and I think the world deserves to know.<br /><br /><br /> I send all my love to Russia and to all the other LGBT people who are tired of being oppressed by their country, their government and by religion. There is still a long way for the world to change. Our fight will not end until everyone of us is heard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-65678947321608383162013-08-06T07:12:37.830-07:002013-08-06T07:12:37.830-07:00One thing I do know, sending Rachel Maddow over th...One thing I do know, sending Rachel Maddow over there as a human rights correspondent is a terrible idea.
