Obama skips Winter Olympics in Russia to send a message to its anti-gay leaders

Billie Jean King

“Oh hell no!” is the message President Obama has sent to Russia in the wake of anti-gay legislation enacted before the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. However, he will send two high-profile gay athletes, Billie Jean King and Caitlin Cahow, as delegates to take part in the ceremonies. Take that, Russian homophobes!
