Mr Putin told volunteers today that gays visiting Sochi 'can feel calm and at ease,' and vowed that there would be no discrimination at the games.
But he emphasised that, according to a law banning homosexual 'propaganda' among minors, gays cannot express their views on gay rights issues to anyone under age...
The Daily Mail is LIVID about this!
What an incredible gay insult from the evil Russian bear!

Erm, older readers may recall the Mail was one of the strongest and most odious supporters of Britain's Section 28 - another "law banning homosexual 'propaganda' to minors."
Of course, one could say that's all in the past.

Different times.
But have a look at the Mail Online's search engine and try and figure out when the homophobic hypocrites at the Mail ever stopped.
Why a cynic might think their supposed concern for LGBT Rights in Russia is a load of baloney and a crude propaganda exercise...
