gay 'propaganda' to children. Is that correct? If so, was it not that different to the 'Clause 28' which was law in this country between 1988 and 2003.

I'm sure that all of us of a certain age remember protesting against that law at the time, going on demonstrations, showing solidarity etc. :nod:

few years ago.

Ok, so they're a bit behind, but the outrage seems a bit selective. That Hollande bloke from France boybotted the Olympics, but is happy to enthuse about Qatar, where chutney ferrets are imprisoned, and where they literally kill their slave labour. No talk of boycotting the world cup.

That's what sets it apart from your tennises, your cross country skiing and your shot putts.

Add all your minor games together, and include football that nobody really cares about just to make it a bit fairer, and the olympics is still a bit tinpot
