Outreach Program: Canadian Olympic Committee

Canadian Olympic Committee: It may have been part of an ongoing outreach program by the Canadian Olympic Committee, but the symbolism cant be lost in what promises to be a highly charged run-up to the Sochi Winter Games, to be played out against the backdrop of Russias anti-gay legislation , according to The Star. When one looks at something as repugnant as a law that outlaws same sex propaganda and threatens jail time for anyone espousing equal rights for homosexuals and lesbians, it is hard to suppress the sensory nerve that screams boycott in response and Sunday in Vancouver, Canadian Olympians Mercedes Nicoll and Mike Janyk marched in that citys Pride Parade. The Canadians would be arrested, possibly beaten and jailed, if they did the same thing in Moscow Sunday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
