You have placed the Russian people into the dark ages. You single handedly robbed your citizens of the basic civil right to choose whom they love. You have jeopardized the safety and sanctity that the International Olympics offers to athletes around the world. You see Mr. Putin, The rest of the world is moving forward and accepting the diverse and eclectic community known as LGBTQ. Our community does not judge others for their choice in spouses, partners or companions. Our community is growing, prosperous, and self sufficient.
In our country, the United States of America, we are making huge strides in the civil rights of our citizens. Sure, we have areas where we need improvement, but I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world. We have our share of wingnuts, homophobes, and racists but for the most part we are united in our efforts to improve the lives of all. We don't require our citizens to keep quiet. There is no "don't ask, don't tell" requirements. We are proud of who we are and we will shout it from your roof tops as we do ours. Your bully tactics and threats of arrest are reminiscent of a bygone era where the Soviet Bloc aligned itself with the likes of history's most despicable monsters.
Mr. Putin, I ask you to re-think your stagnant non productive position on our LGBTQ community. If for no other reason, do it for the Olympics.
