There Will Be No Olympic Games in A Country Where There Are Anti-Gay Laws

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved Proposal 14 of the Olympic Agenda 2020 to include non-discrimination with regard to sexual orientation in Principle 6 at a vote in Monaco today (8 December).

It says: 'Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement.'

'Today is a great step forward for the Olympics, and particularly for the athletes, spectators, and residents of host countries who identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual,' said Human Rights First’s Shawn Gaylord.

'Our hope is that potential host countries, like Kazakhstan and China, will understand that protecting the rights of sexual minorities is no longer something they can dodge.

    So, where do the sexual minorities fall as participants in Olympic games? Case in point, if Jenner had a qualifying time, would it be in the men's or women's decathlon?

    Now that right there is just meddling in another countries affairs. Shines badly on the Olympics spirit of a sports competition, without politics. If its a political organization, then I no longer have any interest in it, regardless of where they host the games.
