Barilla and homophobic Russian Olympics

Everyone should look REALLY hard at the response the worldwide boycott has had on pasta giant Barilla. Guido Barilla near tears apologizing for his homophobic words.  "If gays don't like it, they can eat another pasta.". Not very good marketing strategy.
This whole incident should be labelled 'The Barilla Syndrome'.
This is what the sponsors of the Sochi Russia winter Olympics should be feeling.
When the Olympic sponsors are crying because they are boycotted, then and only then will the International Olympic Committee move these games.
McDonalds released today their new healthier menu.  Boycott it!  Coca Cola, Boycott it!  Samsung is releasing a new watch computer gizmo.  Boycott it!
Let them know any LGBTQ suffrage means we all suffer.
The IOC shows their hypocritical colors in turning a blind eye to their own charter.  Specifically section about nondiscrimination.
The end result is one incident, will ricochet around the world like an Italian homophobe blathering his hateful words.
However, chances are, a Russian incident will likely include bloodshed.  Olympic committee striping athletes medals because they are expressing who they are as people will be turned into a "political" statement.

Who does the Olympic committee think they are fooling at this point?  Let's face it, this is about cash and not Olympic spirit.
If it has Olympic rings on it stay away.  It doesn't look any better for the sponsors.
Does McDonald's want to end up with Coca Cola in Barilla-land right now?  We need to push on these Olympic sponsors in the same manner that everyone did with Barilla.
Everyday that a LGBTQ person has to remain silent because of legislation, is another day that the whole world suffers.

Living Memory

Our very own Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza got an endorcment from Mayor of Chicago's office on LGBT issues in April 2011 for the 2011 Bisexual Invisibility report out of San Francisco. The 41page report shows constant and transparent research that bisexuals struggle more than their gay, lesbian and straight counterparts regarding major life concerns including, buy not limited to Mental health and Suicidal ideation.

Favorite Memories

Very first closed door Bisexual leadership meeting at The White House on Celebrate Bisexuality Day 2013 to discuss Bisexual community issues. Fourteen years after the original Celebrate Bisexual Day on September 23, 1999 organized by Michael Page, creator of the Bisexual flag along with Gigi Raven Wilbur and Wendy Curry to remind the world, '"Bisexuals are welcomed to the party too."

McHomocaust: Russia the Fourth Reich

September 15, 1935
Nuremberg, Germany
Persecution Begins

• On April 1, 1933, the Nazis instigated their first action against German Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses.
• The Nuremberg Laws, issued on September 15, 1935, began to exclude Jews from public life. The Nuremberg Laws included a law that stripped German Jews of their citizenship and a law that prohibited marriages and extramarital sex between Jews and Germans. The Nuremberg Laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation.
• Nazis then issued additional anti-Jews laws over the next several years. For example, some of these laws excluded Jews from places like parks, fired them from civil service jobs (i.e. government jobs), made Jews register their property, and prevented Jewish doctors from working on anyone other than Jewish patients.

Honestly, how can anyone not see what is happening here?

Are corporations like McDonald's who are sponsoring the Sochi Winter Olympic games that stupid to see that the gains that they are making for this one event could potentially and forever scar their business?

Tragedies at Olympic events are forever recorded in history.  What is to prevent a Munich Massacre?  Those where the murdering terrorist games.  What about the Atlanta Games?  No one remembers a damned thing about those games except there was a bomb!

With people running through the streets smashing faces in if you are even suspected of being LGBT, you want to kill ALL your business when you have the opportunity to do the right thing now?  Be the HERO and not the VILLAIN!  Ask your marketing people which is better.

LGBT has already started to actively avoid your products.  We are a tight community and will not tolerate this.  In your press release you use the key words such as diversity.  When you use the words and they have no action behind them, it's called lip service.  You are essentially lying to avoid dealing with the problem head on. 

We call bullshit on your response.  McDonald's is quite capable of saying that these actions taken by the Russian government do not comply with the image that McDonald's represents and will withhold any further funding of these Olympics under breach of contract.  Breach of contract due to they no longer qualify.

Olympic Charter #4:(takes time to load)

The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of

practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which

requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

So, we ask again, DO YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR BUSINESS OR BE A HERO?

Walk away and set up another venue in a location for all to participate "WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION OF ANY KIND" as the charter states.  Bring the other sponsors with you.  It will be a WIN WIN scenario.

We the People: Move the 2014 Winter Olympic Games from Russia

We the People will NOT acknowledge, listen to or view the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.

We the People WILL hold Olympic Committee and ALL Sponsor responsible for anything that happens to ANY citizen during your Holocaust Olympics.

We the People WILL continue to have our voices heard through worldwide demonstration that HUMAN RIGHTS are more important than CORPORATE GREED.

We the People WILL NOT LET THIS GO.  THIS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR.  MOVE THE GAMES AND SEND A MESSAGE THAT HUMAN LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOMOPHOBIC POWER DOMINATION.

WE THE PEOPLE SAY IT'S TIME FOR EVERYONE TO DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME AND STOP THIS HOLOCAUST!
