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?
...read the mission statement of USMS. It is a fitness and education organization, not a political front...
Hmm.. I'm not the smartest person in the room, but if my recent interpretation in reading SWIMMER magazine issues is even remotely correct, USMS has taken a very political stand on this issue.
