Doesn't even make sense to me. Nothing in Russias law violates the Olympic Charter.
HEY GOOGLE. **** OFF YOU. **** YOUR ******** SEARCH ENGINE IN ITS ******* ****** BINARY ***. ALL DAY LONG.
There is a difference between literal legislation, and how the law is used by police to arrest, or not arrest people, and how the law is used to sentence people. Given the rampant, state-sanctioned homophobia in Russia, progressive western nations are concerned about nasty human rights abuses there. Russia has made homophobia more explicitly an official government position, more state sanctioned, put police and courts more on the sides of homophobes than homosexuals in the past year. When this started happening, it was almost a boycott-level problem for other nations, similar to the old apartheid problem in South Africa.

Not even the cross-country part where you stop and shoot three Chechen rebels?

In fairness to Russia, most nations, even western nations, do a lot of really extreme, morally dubious, clean-up just prior to holding the Olympics. They usually target the Homeless, including street kids, and temporarily board-off dilapidated parts of town.

And it's not like the opposition to Russian hosting is limited to their human rights violations with homophobia. It's also heavily connected to the behavior of the government in general, particularly with control of information, suppression of opposition, and obviously-corrupt voting systems.
The homophobia just became a really easy, really apparent problem that was particularly easy to latch onto and speak out against Russia using. It's a lot harder to do that when you're complaints are about systems that are much more abstract and complicated.
It's also much easier to talk about human rights in specific reference to how you are hurting a group of people, when it lets you sidestep the more direct, politically-problematic language of, you know, accusing Putin of fraudulent voting practices that are allowing him to feign democracy while ensuring his own stay in power.

Well color me shocked. Western sensationalism is against democracy now? Last I checked over 80% of Russians support the law. **** Democracy right.

I understand that this might offend some people. But so what. If you aren't into sticking your dink in pink you are not a Human protected under conventions of Geneva. Start your own civilization half breeds.
You're technically and morally wrong. I suspect psychologically you're wrong too.

Don't take him seriously, he's doing this whole "be as offensive as possible" thing in some kind of protest to the forum rules change.
