Hollywood leads the charge against Russia's anti-gay law
American Thinker ^ | 08/11/2013 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/11/2013 7:59:31 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The entertainment industry is giving full voice to their criticism of the Russian anti-gay statute. They've singled out Russia because the 2014 Winter Olympics are going to be held in the city of Sochi and gay fans of the games don't want to be arrested simply for exhibiting what in Russia is politically incorrect behavior.

The International Olympic Committee wants assurances from the Russian government but Moscow is standing firm, saying that the law must be respected.

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko insisted Thursday that Olympic athletes would have to respect the laws of the country during the Sochi Games. On Friday, he said there was no way Russia would back down under political pressure.

Referring to Western criticism, Mutko was quoted as saying by Interfax: "I wouldn't call the pressure light.

Russia must understand that the stronger we are, the more other people aren't going to like it. We have a unique country."

"We don't have to be afraid of threats to boycott the Olympic Games," Mutko said. "All sensible people understand that sports demand independence, that it is inadmissible that politics intervene."

On Thursday, Mutko did make it clear that the private lives and privacy of athletes would be respected as it is guaranteed by the Russian constitution Rogge said that was essential.

"The Olympic charter is clear," Rogge said. "A sport is a human right and it should be available to all, regardless of race, sex or sexual orientation."

Even if Russia accepts that principle, the law leaves open the issue of athletes speaking freely during the games.

"As far as the freedom of expression is concerned, of course, this is something that is important," Rogge said. "But we cannot make a comment on the law" until the clarifications have been received.

Kind of tells us where the gays are concentrated and sort of explains the historical disdain for the acting community.

The flea reference reminds me of a saying from HS, circa 1950s that expressed the height of arrogance and self delusion--"a flea climbing up an elephant's leg with rape on its mind".

Fits Hollywood and this present admin. perfectly.

I've heard that before. I hope it's true this time ...

“HollyWeird Vs Russia.”

A possible sequel to Michael Medved’s “Hollywood vs America.”

After all, the ancient Greeks were enlightened homosexualists who’s society was replete with all manner of perversions. And when it came to the marriage of their pederastic graduates, they....

Oh, wait. Nothing in Hellenism allowed that. Could it have been that they didn’t want to wreck their whole society?

It is. Plus the little known fact that Russian stubbornness is a thing to behold. Like an obstinate and determined mule, once they get their mind set to something.

>>Russian stubbornness is a thing to behold.

Nah.  When Belshazzar saw his demise being penned upon the wall by an ancient rendition of the KGB...
 
Dan 5:5-6
5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote.
 
6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.
NIV
 
...THAT was a MYSTERYous thing to behold.
 
Zar,  Kaisar, Tsar, Caesar -- same old empirical state-established Ba'al-shyte, different toilet.

oh, I just bet the lavender lobby plans to “exhibit” at the Olympics

They’re gonna try to make the Olympics look like “San Franciso Pride” and defy the Russians to arrest them

I am afraid the 2014 Olympics is going to be a bust regardless of any boycotts

me thinks Obambi had a hand in this as well. He uses Hollywood to do his dirty work.

I have an ARMY t-shirt I used to wear with pride. But to wear it now would seem to associate it with obama’s homosexualist elite.

No more.

Russia is also against homosexuals indoctrinating children in the joys of gay sex as currently happens in American schools, boy scouts, government offices, parades, etc.

The Kremlin promoted homosexuality as “the new normal” in the West to breed corruption, moral degeneracy, smash the patriarchy, etc. Makes it easier for them to point out the “evils of Western culture”.

They don’t want their 800 pound gorilla stomping around in their own homeland.

The Hollywood celebritards were “Stalin’s useful idiots”. They did his bidding. And now they feel so used and rejected.
