Sochi Winter Games: HOLD SPONSORS ACCOUNTABLE


It is unbelievable that the International Olympic Committee is moving forward with these Olympic games in Russia.
With all the reports of abuse, rape and death related to the cleansing of the population of the LGBTQ community.
Sponsors like McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Proter and Gamble and Panasonic are funding the modern day holocaust that we have named the HOMOCAUST.
This is a case of history repeating itself.  Only this is on a larger venue.  The whole world is aware of what is going on and Russia is getting away with this.
This has outraged the world and any civilized nation.
Obviously, GE has spoken up but the rest of the sponsors have hid behind "supporting diversity" statements or remained silent.  It is clear at this point that the only solution would be to cancel the games, which is not realistic.
Plenty of people all over the world are on the same page as StonewallAGAIN on pulling the games from Russia.  They clearly broke the agreement with the IOC charter number four which clearly states not to discriminate.
Stephen Fry has made the same comparison as StonewallAGAIN that this Olympic Games is hauntingly reminiscent of the 1936 Nazi Games where Hitler showcased his Third Reich.
LGBTQ and supportive communities should NOT be feeling helpless in this.  We can help by boycotting the vendors that directly sponsor these homophobic olympics.
McDonald's and Coca-Cola should feel the heat from their decision NOT to influence the laws inception in the first place.  They had plenty of power to jump in and stop this before this actually came to a vote in the parliment.  They sat on their hands.
It is our responsibility to say that the corporate greed over human rights is complete bullshit.  LGBTQ and supportive community can say NO to purchasing their products and services.
Holding them accountable for EVERY INCIDENT because they are inviting and marketing for people around the globe to participate in this hate crime.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO BE PUTIN'S HOMOPHOBIC SHOWCASE, LIKE HITLER DID AGAINST OUR COMMUNITY NOT SO LONG AGO.
