Time to boycott Winter Olympics because of U.S. Policies!!!

Is there a better way to support Russia’s pro-hetro agenda?

What a proud moment for America to have these misfits from a tiny demented sliver of our population representing our entire beloved country at the opening ceremonies.

Just call it out for what it is, a provocation, and demand other people. Tennis has nothing to do with winter.

the gay agenda is at a torrid pace. I have to say though I don’t see it entirely pushed by gays, but by a very secretive world body looking for the destruction of the Christian domination of society. to make future generations safe from Christian oppression.

I didn't know Brian Boitano was gay.

But then my Mother is still in denial that Rock Hudson was :P

what a fitting decision. The world sends their best athletes, we send a bunch of homos. Reminds me of the Bugs Bunny wrestling cartoon.

Maybe Billie Jean King could honor Arthur Ashe who died from AIDS after receiving contaminated blood after surgery.
