I say, I've gotta get some work done soon. Been 'effin off all day.
Regarding the OP, I read a related news piece with a pic recently which was ludicrous.
It was about a group of Russian gay-haters, six men, who meet regularly in a wilderness location to strategize.
They were all shirtless perched on a rock in the photo (wish I could find it again) and every one of them looked totally closeted. The old saying, "we hate in others what we most fear in ourselves" came to mind.
I think it's backwards thinking and a backwards discriminatory law that will only hurt Russian society. Idiocy.
Do I think anyone should boycott the Olympics over it? I don't. Why hurt the athletes that have trained their lives to compete. JMO.
However, there are many restaurants and bars here in San Francisco (and I take it all over the country/world) that have been banning Russian vodka for a few weeks now.
With the Russian anti-gay law officially passed, I imagine more will join the bans and I think that's a better way to protest. Hit 'em in the pocketbook, make a statement, and give a more progressive country's brand a chance.
