(55,147 posts)You honestly believe that the athletic competition is the only thing they are covering?
Don't worry about it, I got your underlying message.

(55,147 posts)NBC can kiss my rainbow colored ass. They of course will have to wait in line. Unfortunately that line has gotten long since the Olympics.

(55,147 posts)The one's where we are told that we are "Heterophobia" or where we are the "Bullies" or where Gay people are not really being persecuted in Russia? There have been so many, it's been hard to keep up with them.

(53,959 posts)...we are also thin-skinned because we can't take a little joke about "gays shoving their gay agenda down the throat's of others." We also are apparently so stupid we can't tell the difference between criticism of Russian policy and the Russians as a culture. We are so busy 'destroying' the Russian Federation we are ignoring the problems in Nigeria, Uganda, and our own collective backyards.
Speaking of Uganda, one can pop into the "viper's den", also known as The LGBT group and sign a petition to help LGBT Ugandans and/or sign the petition to the Congress to sign the International Violence Against Women Act. Not into the LGBT group, pop down to the Administrator's Group, colloquially known as the Jewish Group to find the same petitions.
Too sarcastic?
