If I were an athlete in Russia, I could be arrested. If I decide to attend next year's Sochi Olympics as a spectator, I could be punished for being who I am. As a member of the LGBT community, I believe there is nothing more important than standing in solidarity with LGBT athletes and the LGBT community facing discrimination and terror in Russia.
I'm asking athletes to show LGBT people in Russia that they are not alone, and that the world supports them, by wearing a rainbow pride pin on their uniform at the opening ceremonies.
For those who haven't heard, Russia recently passed new legislation that criminalizes "Gay Propaganda." This means that anyone who is gay, is suspected of being gay, or just accused of being gay can go to jail.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) say they may disqualify athletes for wearing "political propaganda" at the games. But if the IOC announces that they will disqualify athletes for expressing who they are, they will be acting in support of Russia's disgusting laws. I don't believe they will do that.
If enough people sign and if enough athletes and teams declare their support we will generate a beautiful, powerful message of solidarity for the whole world to see.
There is strength in numbers and the more countries that we can have committed to a message of love could make a real difference in the world of international politics.
So what can you do?
1. Share this message of love and acceptance and help promote more support for this campaign by sharing the petition by email and on Facebook and tweeting it with the hashtag #GoldMedalMessage
2.Contact your Olympic team. Email, phone, tweet or carrier pigeon a quick letter to your team and your favorite athletes asking them to show their support for the LGBT community by wearing a rainbow pin at Sochi 2014.
As LGBT activists in Russia are already asking: "Do not boycott the Olympics – boycott homophobia! Stand in solidarity with people in Russia and bring LGBT pride and values of human rights and freedoms to the games in Sochi!"

Thank you for all the comments and faves. I used to take pride in thanking everybody individually but unfortunately, time constraints have made that impossible these days. It really means so much when you fave or comment or send me a note that I feel guilty hoping you will see this blanket "thank you".

Deviant Art can go fuck itself. If you want to bring back the Victorian era, do it without my help. That's 8 fucking years I'll never get back. If there are any followers who haven't quit dA yet, bye. Thanks for your support. If you wish to read Swim Team, go to my Wordpress account of the same name. D/A has decided after having my love story posted for seven years that it is porn. I will remove the few chapters that they haven't, in a timely fashion, within the next seven years. Strange that this shit happens after Murica choses a raving lunatic for a president. To those in the majority who voted for someone else, do whatever it takes to rid

Federal Cabinet breaking major election promise
From the dogwood initiative org...
This morning I took the SkyTrain out to the Hilton Hotel at Metrotown, where Ottawa’s latest Kinder Morgan rubber-stamp review is going through the motions in Burnaby.
Unlike you, most British Columbians don’t know the Canadian federal cabinet is breaking a major election promise. How can we get the word out in the middle of summer holidays? The best way is through targeted social media, but that costs money:
$27 can put an article or video in front of 2,000 to 5,300 Facebook users
$55 can help us reach 4,100 to 11,000 British Columbians
$120 can help us reach up to 24,000 people
