Why is everyone beating down on Russia on gay rights

Seriously, why? Why are people taking in this issue as if this is the worst this nation, or every nation in general has done?
Women don't have any rights in other countries and other countries execute their people for protesting against their theocratic government.
And all of a sudden, people are batting their eyes to the cruelty of the world because of Russia's anti-gay laws? wut

Not to mention their crappy hotel residences, according to various news reporters and such.
OT: The whole world is always facing some sort of injustice, but people decide to make a big deal out of every issue that rises. As mentioned above, it is most likely due to the Olympics and Sochi going against what the Olympics stand for.

[quote=xtripled]cause the Olympics are being held there. Hosting the Olympics comes with a lot of publicity and if you're going to be as big of a nation as Russia is and enforce anti-gay laws, you better believe you'll get flamed for it.

oh and i love how you put in this in the fun section[/quote]

because we all know its somehow going to turn into a shouting match rather than an actual discussion.

anyways, it matters because people believe it's not acceptable to impose your personal rules/regulations on irrelevant issues when you host such an event.
