Russia's sports minister Vitaly Mutko wants folks to calm down about the whole anti-gay propaganda law and said that the athletes will be safe and taken care of:
"I want to ask you to calm down as in addition to this law we have a constitution that guarantees all citizens a private life. It is not intended to deprive people of any religion, race or sexual orientation but to ban the promotion of non-traditional relations among the young generation. All the athletes and organisations should be relaxed, their rights will be protected...but of course you have to respect the laws of the country you are in."I know a lot of folks are worried about this, but I don't think we should be so manic about this. Regardless of their law or views, they know the world is watching.
I can't see them messing this up that badly or putting gay athletes' lives in danger. Before we declare war on them, let's see how this turns out.
