5. I think this is the wrong venue, and will not gain much sympathy
.
.
.
In fact, it could backfire on their "cause" imo.
THIS IS THE OLYMPICS, and most of the World will be watching, and much of it will be participating.
Most of the World is NOT gay, so disturbing the masses that want to enjoy the Olympics with the gay agenda is just gonna piss many off -
I do not agree with Russia's stance on gays, but when in Rome . . . . ?
I have friends and relatives that are gay - just regular people to me, and NONE of them preach to me, nor I to them.
If the "concerned" want to change Russia's laws, then move there and do it from within.
Please don't make this gay thing a distraction to the sportsmanship and talent that will be displayed by people, some of them trained and hoped most of their lives just to participate in the Olympics.
I have NO objections to most people's beliefs, habits, race, color etc.,
But don't ram it in my face.
Thank You.

JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Jan 30, 2014, 03:40 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Proud to vote to hide this mountain of goat crap
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Lots of anti-gay rhetoric and interesting use of quotation marks.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Explanation: "When all you have is a hammer ... all you see are nails." This post is fine. Alerter needs thicker skin.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing hideworthy. Nothing offensive. Waste of an alert
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you.

Ironically enough, that dogpile above resembles a pack of bullies
Does it really take NINE people to yell at a lone Canuk? Apparently so. The beautiful part is that's precisely the sort of thing that some pack of brainless homophobes would do if they spotted one of..."them". Love that mob mentality!

Aerows
(39,961 posts)23. It looks like I'm on the schedule to be part of a dogpile
Since I was juror #2 on the second alert from that thread.
Jesus Christ. What is up with these people that think "not getting gay-bashed" is the same as tolerated bigotry?
William769
(55,147 posts)24. More transparency.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)25. Great news!
William769
(55,147 posts)26. Yes.
I don't like to see the demise of anyone unless it's well deserved and these were.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)27. Agreed!
