So, World Masters Championships for 2015 are now scheduled to be held in Kazan, Russia. I, for one, am appalled at yet another event being held in a country with legislated homophobia. Isn't it bad enough that the IOC has allowed this travesty?
In my opinion, USMS needs to take a stand about this and ensure that ALL USMS members can attend events safely, with their families, and without fear of persecution or prosecution. Russia is not a safe place for our LGBT members and allies to do so.
Thoughts?
If wanting to ensure the safety and security of all athletes is an agenda, then I guess I'm guilty. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a PAC for that. ;)
Sad that even this kind of thing becomes political :(
