So as you know, the Olympics are in Russia. There's a lot of controversy over that, especially about gay rights. The bill that was passed that foreign gay couples can't adopt children in Russia and that gay marriage isn't allowed.
Obviously, there have been protests and boycotting, but the bill is still around. Even big companies aren't really speaking out against this (I'm not saying all of them all) but Coca-Cola made this thing where you can personalize a virtual Coke bottle with a word, but when you type in "Gay" it says: "oops... let's pretend you didn't type that." It lets you type in "Straight" but not "Gay". Obviously people have found other ways of expressing their opinions with typing in things like "BoycottRussia" and stuff like that.
Of course, people are speaking out against this and there are tons of protests going on. My opinion is that if you're gay, you're gay. That's completely fine, and people should accept that. This is no way of making a gay person un-gay. People have got to accept that, because being gay isn't like being sick and dirty, it's just how you are. It's the 21st century, and people have got to stop being so oblivious to the fact that gay is COMPLETELY alright. Accept it.
