Olympics officials are concerned about Russian anti-gay law
The
International Olympic Committee expressed concern this week after the
Russian parliament advanced by unanimous vote legislation that would
punish those convicted of "promoting homosexuality." The 2014 Winter
Olympics are to be held in the Russian resort town of Sochi, where
officials previously denied establishment of a Pride house for LGBT
athletes in the Olympic village. Some out athletes have expressed alarm
about the law, saying it could put them at risk of arrest. FoxNews.com/The Associated Press
