I doubt that gay athletes are thinking about promoting homosexualism among kids in Russia, Yeah, but we all know what this law actually involves, and it's disingenuous to claim otherwise. The "anti-propoganda" law essentially bans gay pride events and public defence of gay rights. It was backed by a president who directly equated homosexuality and paedophillia. That's not a gay-friendly environment, by any stretch of the imagination. This is good old-fashioned minority-hate-stirring, and it should be roundly condemned. That fact that there are no explicit laws banning homosexuality in Russia is nearly irrelevant.
