What does Snowden have to do with Russia's homophobic policies? Answer: NOTHING!

Leave Snowden out of Putin/Russia's disgusting homophobic laws.

Stop conflating the two.

I think you are trying to conflate two totally different issues. Stop conflating the two. They have nothing to do with each other.

Obama supporters who hate Snowden are wrong, conflating and trouble stirring when they try this shit. They need to stop conflating the issue of the Olympics/Russia's homophobic laws with whistle blower Snowden.

Thanks to Putin for giving Snowden temp asylum. Fuck Putin for his anti gay hate mongering!

I stand with LGBT rights, ALWAYS, and I also stand with whistle blower Snowden.



Snowden is now aiding a nation that criminalizes homosexuality. It's that simple. MjolnirTime Aug 2013 #1
