"As much as I can speak out about it, I believe that all humans deserve equality as however God made them. Whether you're gay, straight, black, white, we all deserve the same rights. If there's anything I can do to champion the cause and further it, I will, shy of getting arrested. I respect Russians' ability to govern their people. I disagree with their laws. I do have respect for this nation. I disagree with their rules."
US middle distance runner Nick Symmonds
said this as he dedicated his 800-meter silver medal at the world athletics championships Tuesday to his gay and lesbian friends
