TotallyOz Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Stephen Fry on Vladimir Putin: "He is making scapegoats of gay people, just as Hitler did Jews. He cannot be allowed to get away with it." Read Stephen's passionate letter to David Cameron: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/08/07/stephen-fry-compares-russian-winter-olympics-to-nazi-hosted-1936-olympics-in-letter-to-david-cameron/ JKane 1 Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted August 7, 2013 Members Posted August 7, 2013 A stirring call to arms. Unfortunately, money and politics will prevail. However, this will raise the volume level on the Russian travesty. Unhappily, this attitude of persecution infects many in our own country, if not so pointedly. I would like to see the US, UK and Canada withdraw even though I am loath to mix politics with Olympics. However, Frye was spot on with Hitler and his Olympics. It is disappointing to see 'good men do nothing' once again. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members JKane Posted August 8, 2013 Members Posted August 8, 2013 I've been wondering why more aren't pointing the similarity out, not Hitler and the Jews--Hitler and homosexuals. That's where the pink triangle came from, after all. Which is why I think people should wear it at the Olympics! TotallyOz, AdamSmith and lookin 3 Quote
