Obama picks three gay athletes to represent U.S. at Sochi Olympics
President won't attend, stresses "diversity" in statement about Sochi
delegation
Olympic figure skating gold medalist Brian Boitano came out in a statement
Thursday, making him the third openly gay athlete on the White House's Sochi
delegation.
In August, President Barack Obama told Jay Leno he had "no patience" for
Russia's controversial anti-gay law. Months later, it appears he's standing
behind those words.
The White House announced Tuesday its delegation to the 2014 Winter Olympics
in Sochi, and three openly gay athletes are among those who will represent
the United States in Russia. Notably absent: Obama, his wife, or Vice
President Joe Biden.
It's hard to determine which is the bigger jab at Russia: That the U.S.
government's top brass is staying home, or that they're sending tennis great
Billie Jean King, Boitano and two-time Olympic hockey medalist Caitlin
Cahow.
Lest you think Obama's sitting this one out due to Russia granting asylum to
NSA leaker Edward Snowden, the White House's statement makes its message
fairly clear. While the statement doesn't specifically call out Russia's "
gay propaganda" law (or the anti-LGBT violence it helped spark), it notes
this year's delegation will "showcase to the world the best of America —
diversity, determination and teamwork."
The White House later makes the point that the 10-person delegation, which
also includes speedskater Bonnie Blair and former Homeland Security leader
Janet Napolitano, "represents the diversity that is the United States."
Obama's decision to skip out on Sochi isn't so novel; he joins French
President Francois Hollande and German President Joachim Gauck on a list of
leaders who won't be at the Winter Olympics.
But subbing in King, a sports legend-turned-activist who was the first major
professional female athlete to come out, is a strong symbolic stand against
Russia's anti-gay law -- certainly a stronger one than any Olympic official
has given thus far.
According to the New York Times, this is the first Olympic delegation since
1988 not to include a sitting or past president or vice president or a
member of their families. | S******8

这个把基佬包括在diverity的目标里，是民党政治的一大发展。
下一步是不是要规定政府和学校招生有多少gay比例，gay受照顾？
