The building in Sochi that will house the media is so gay! As part of the architecture are bands of color that go all the way around the building that are colored according to the rainbow flag. And no, it isn't a representation of the Olympic colors because those don't include orange and violet. Is it about to get a fresh coat of paint?
This is getting really disturbing. Putin has decreed a ban on all "meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets" starting a month before the games and ending a month after. These games could be the most unsafe. And the threat comes from the host country.
I had mentioned that a new IOC president will be elected soon. Human Rights Watch and the Committee to Protect Journalists have sent a letter to the IOC demanding that the six candidates explain how they plan to deal with Russia's anti-gay laws prior to and during the Sochi games. The six candidates are from Germany, Russia, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Switzerland, and Taiwan. At least a couple of them would be happy to let Russia do what it wants.
