Stand now...

As a student of history, I cannot view the events in Russian any other way: first, they'll come for the LGBT, there will be another group, and another, and another. When politicians and state sanctioned media outlets start talking like this, cattle cars and "camps" aren't far behind. A line must be drawn. Boycott NBC, Soichi, the IOC and any company, or person and celebrity that supports them. Stand now, or sons and daughters will stand later.

Honestly, the rights of people trump the "right" athletes have to compete. Sorry.

I'm going to use any avenue I have to stake a stand against this.

 Even the Third Reich observed the Spirit of the Olympics and let the "UnderMenchen" compete in 1936...  The Russians have stated that any Gay Athletes, supporters, or staff that show up will be imprisoned.  

 Does America have a perfect stellar record of upholding LGBT rights?  Hell, no.  Better than Russia, though.
