"On Monday, the Russian Interior Ministry confirmed what other Russian officials have been saying for weeks: Openly gay people attending the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, including athletes, will be arrested under the country's draconian new anti-gay law. That law, you might recall, prohibits "homosexual propaganda" and is designed to discourage any kind of support for gay rights or even gay people.
