I understand that Obama has presided over the worst economy since the depression. From an economic standpoint things haven't been very peachy over the years.
But our president DOES stand up for the rights of minorities, whether they be sexual, religious, or racial. And he does so in the face of a world that opposes him on these issues.
As long as those openly gay delegates do not violate Russian law and engage in homosexual acts, then there should be no problem. If they do break the law and are caught, then they've broken the law and will presumably pay for their illegal acts under Russian law.

Homosexual acts? These people aren't going to be having sex in public. That isn't what Russia's new law addresses.
Russia's new law states that any mention of gay rights in public can be considered a crime. Any acknowledgement of ones homosexuality in public can be considered a crime.
To deny one's right to self identify as gay in public is a violation of the rights of humans in my opinion. Russia can shove it. Which is essentially what Obama told to Putin (who is undoubtedly a racist and homophobic person).

So you believe that an official Olympic delegate will be having sex out in the open? Seriously, I understand your vehement disregard for homosexuals as American citizens, let alone human beings, but in what crazy world do you live in?
Who in their right mind outside of Jason Statham in Crank will have sex out in the open in a foreign country?

Rep'd! This is exactly what I was thinking! Don't know where that poster was getting at.

If what you post is accurate, then it is an intentional provocation and will force Russia's hand. Poor foreign policy in my opinion.

Ummm...you mean that you WISH that they'd get caught in homosexual acts and get prosecuted under Russian law.

LOL @ you trying to sound equanimous.
Not at all. It's a very childish foreign policy jab at Russia with no potential upside. I equate it to Susan Rice being sent to negotiate the US withdrawal with Karzai. Karzai is the leader of a Moslem country and it was intentionaly insulting to send a woman who is not even the Secretary of State or Defense to negotiate. We seem to be hell bent on offending other nations.
