What are gay rights? How do they wish to define “gay-friendly”?

No. It would make me embarrassed to be an American if we boycotted the games on behalf of the LGBT crowd.

Should we let the fact that some people do not approve of perverted sex habits to stop anyone else from playing sports?

um.. no.

About the only potential ‘downside’ stemming from the anti-gay policies surrounding the Sochi Games is the possible cancellation of Men’s figure skating. Oh wait! Maybe we’ll actually get to see some ice hockey!

No. They are a minority and IMHO, the minority should NOT be telling the world’s MAJORITY what to do or believe.

I would not boycott the Games for LGBT rights.

I would boycott the games if they accepted the twisted LGBT agenda.

It’s a sad day for me that I find myself opposing virtually every stance my country takes internationally.

But I’m still proud of what America once was...

I had observed the venerable and taxpayer supported Canadian Broadcasting Company coverage on the Winter Games preview. Ok, so they did a good job and seemed to spare the Russians too much criticism re preparedness.

Then (wouldn't you know it) came a whole segment on the homosexual "community". There they were- athletes past and present working themselves up to a high pitch. One had won a gold medal in swimming and now at 45 years was holding forth. They were travelling to Russia in a definable group.

To sum it all up, they do have a problem. After all the bilge about finally being able to "accept myself" and getting on with life, it is a sad fact.

They think society- any society, should be all about them!.

Once upon a time we boycotted the games because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Now it’s because some fruits have the vapors? Pathetic.

If the gay athletes want to boycott by not attending, more power to them. I’m not gay and I’m not boycotting the Olympics.

No, but I won’t watch the Russian Games. Guess I remember the Cold War too vividly. Hell, I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Natalie, you tool, the games have already been hijacked by the LGBT agenda.

When did the Olympics stop being about sports?

Good grief, it’s really something when right is on the side of an authoritarian like Putin’s fight against the fascist/homo lobby. We’ve become one sick country.

I do not care who we send as long they are the best atheletes we have. The United States did not balk sending blacks to the 1936 Olympics when
Jesse Owens kicked the master- race Nazis in track and field. We should not do so again. The 1980 olympics was a shame and the same thoughts are running around Washington now.
