“Obama said he is looking forward to ‘maybe some gay and lesbian
athletes bringing home the gold or silver or bronze, which I think would
go a long way in rejecting the kind of attitudes that we’re seeing
there.’ It sounds like the president is suggesting a litmus test for membership on the U.S. Olympic team. The president also suggested that Olympic teams without gay or
lesbian athletes are somehow weaker than heterosexual athletic teams. ‘If Russia doesn’t have any gay or lesbian athletes, then that would
probably make their team weaker,’ the president said during the
nationally televised press conference. Why can’t President Obama support all of our Olympic athletes —
regardless of who they choose to love, regardless of their sexual
orientation?” – Fox News commentator Todd Starnes. (Via David Badash)
