CHARLIE CONDOU - No.795

TIME FOR A WINTER GAMES BOYCOTT

Charliecondou: Surely we're looking at a worldwide boycott here...? http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/russian-lawmaker-we-will-arrest-gay-athletes-tourists-olympic-games300713

CarruthersJamie: @Charliecondou well i should bloody well hope so

ModerNew: @Charliecondou one hopes!!

kiramadeira: SERIOUSLY? @TeamGB should not compete! @Charliecondou:

alikingsarmy: @Charliecondou that's disgusting... :( 

sayhellodavid: @Charliecondou how depressing after London's wonderfully progressive opening ceremony. One step forward... 

avaragado: @Charliecondou Much better, I think, for athletes to be publicly pro-LGBT in big numbers. Shame and embarrass: they can't arrest everyone.

toddlerlex: @Charliecondou being really ruthless, it's almost better we don't, they arrest some gay athletes and then the works is forced to act harder 

Linsct81Linsey: @Charliecondou That's Disgraceful x

sonicchypre: @Charliecondou @sophieannaward  My blogs have a big readership in Russia and some of the stories feature same sex themes. People are open XX

aliceinthrabbit: @Charliecondou you would hope so but I don't think so - absolutely shameful. Perhaps Britain could boycott television coverage. Xx
