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?
And this means exactly what? That someone who feels just as passionately as the OP on the subject (only in opposition) somehow needs to be pointed out as if they are a leper,or somehow deficient in social graces? Not all of "We" feel the same way you do. Tolerance is a virtue, not a weapon.
I believe people have the right to say what they want and I also have the right to pass judgment on people based on the things they say. As simple as that, really.
