Winter Olympics Travel Warning
The Opening Ceremony for the 2014 Winter Olympics is scheduled for February 7, but how many Americans will be there. The United States State Department has issued a travel warning to Americans planning on visiting Sochi, Russia for for the Games. The area has recently been rocked by violence and terror attacks. The United States will have two warships in the Black Sea (on which Sochi lies) in case of a need to extract American citizens. These threats are coupled with fears by many homosexual athletes for their safety. Russia's government, including President Vladimir Putin, have recently cracked down on protests by homosexuals. Such actions have been labeled as "propaganda" and are banned from being shown to minors. In the past, Putin has equated homosexuality with pedophilia. Any people who violate Russia's ban on "propaganda," could face jail, fines, or deportation.
