The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia is just days away. Many issues have arisen from the placement of these games in the past year or so, mostly pertaining to LGBT community and the rights in which they are held. On Jun. 30, 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill banning the advertisement of so-called “Non-traditional” sexual relations to minors. The bill was the result of a long-time buildup of protests and legislation. This is in addition to the regional bans of Pride parades and the ability to register with non-governmental organizations.
