    Just terrific! I have admired Google's corporate values and their emphasis on LGBT right for a long time.

    What's this? Gay propaganda on the world's most powerful search engine? Oh dear, Putin cannot be happy about this.

    I love Google. So awesome that they put the excerpt from the Olympic Charter along with the image. I hope it stays up throughout the event. :slight_smile:

    This is minor. This is so very minor. And yes, I realize that the US has the one broadcasting company with a rainbow in it to cover the Sochi Olympics.

    I find it hilarious that people don't realize that Putin burned himself the moment he agreed for Sochi to do the Olympics, and therefore have the most colorful propaganda in the world. If he didn't want "gay propaganda", he should never have agreed for Sochi to continue, and he should have told the Olympic Committee that Sochi would not do the Olympics the moment he signed the "anti-gay propaganda" law into action.

    Look at the website. Look at every single Sochi Olympics advertisement ever made. There's a rainbow on each of them. The tickets and events are color-coded by event. Not to mention, he's going to have this flag waving over his country for the next couple months.

    This flag:

    [​IMG]

    doesn't represent gay people. Well, it does at face-value. But at large, it doesn't just represent gay people or even LGBT people as a whole. It represents every single human being that ever lived on this planet. It represents you. It represents me. It represents Putin, MLK, Gandhi, John Lennon, Hitler, Stalin, Jesus, Lady Gaga, Marilyn Monroe, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, Matt Shepard, and it most certainly represents Pope Francis. It represents every nation, every religion, race, class, gender and sex that ever existed.

    For those who are uneducated on the matter (Putin, I hope you're taking notes), the colors of the rainbow flag symbolize as follows:

    Red: Life.
    Orange: Healing.
    Yellow: Sunlight.
    Green: Nature.
    Blue: Harmony.
    Purple: Spirit.

    Now, ORIGINALLY, there were 2 other colors, pink and turquose, representing sexuality and music/art respectively. Notice that the flag we now wave holds neither of these, and yet LGBT people are the ones who are being asked to "keep away from children" as though we're going to do unspeakable things to them.

    The Olympic flag also represents every nation, which means it represents every single person on this planet. If Putin has a problem with the Rainbow flag, he sure as hell has a problem with the Olympic flag. And guess what? Sochi is going to be more colorful than a Rainbow-Dash cupcake on a 5-year-old's birthday party on a magical float at the San Francisco pride parade, and it's all thanks to Putin. Y'know, the one who didn't want "gay propaganda".

    Guess what, Putin? You made gay propaganda before you even banished it. And under that law, you know EXACTLY what that means. You have 14 days to pack your things and leave your term as "President".

    Nevertheless, I do love the quote at the bottom of the Google page. Yet another reason why this should never have been agreed to do in Sochi.
