The International
Olympic Committee expressed concern this week after the Russian
parliament advanced by unanimous vote legislation that would punish
those convicted of "promoting homosexuality." The 2014 Winter Olympics
are to be held in the Russian resort town of Sochi, where officials
previously denied establishment of a Pride house for LGBT athletes in
the Olympic village. Some out athletes have expressed alarm about the
law, saying it could put them at risk of arrest. FoxNews.com/The Associated Press
