I wonder, why gays are prohibited? There must be an explanation.

[mbennet35]

I think it is because of Russia's anti gay laws

[JimmyDalton]

But i think that there is only two genders option for being an athlete, male and female, and gay is not in between.

I don't know much about gay athletes, but do they come out about their sexuality?

Gays are not prohibited from the Olympic Games, homosexuality is prohibited from Russia.

It has been rather amusing watching the athletes get in a flap about what is going to happen to them at the Games, but if they obey Russian laws then they will be safe, if they desire to flaunt Russian Laws, then it is best they stay in the Olympic Village.

I love the Summer and Winter Olympics, and the Commonwealth Games.

I love to see the world come together and put differences aside for a common interest, even if the host country is a nation of throw backs

I was going to point out the Berlin games in '36. Hitler got a severe case of egg in the face on that one.

Wouldn't it be great to see a gay gold medalist at the games this year?
