Zoie Palmer hat sich öffentlich dazu geäußert, mein Respekt, sehr schön und differenziert vorgebracht
Zitat:
I would like to make it known that I will not be watching the Olympics being held in Sochi Russia. I am deeply sorry to the athletes who have trained so hard, not just over the past four years but for the better part of their lives to compete. I know there are people who will watch in support of these athlete's and I could not and will not judge their decision to do so, but for me personally there are times when a bigger picture issue takes precedence. This is one of those times. It is my unequivocal belief that basic human rights and equality for ALL is paramount. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and queer individuals must be granted these rights and must never be told not to speak of who they are, must never be silenced, ignored, abused, attacked, alienated and treated like second class people. It not okay. So, for these reasons I will not give any ratings to any network that airs the Olympics and I will not support Russia's offences to basic human rights. I do wish to make it clear that I have many Russian friends and family for that matter who feel as strongly as I do about this issue and who are in complete support of equal human rights for all. My heart goes out to all of the Russian citizens who are as disgusted by the positions of their leadership as I am and who are potentially being unfairly judged in all of this. I wish all of the athletes no matter their race, gender, or sexual preference the very best of luck this year.
With love and hope,
