Russia Declares Discrimination Newest Olympic Sport

[Jesus Malverde]

A new public service announcement portrays a stirring depiction of LGBT discrimnation and violence against LGBT Russians.

Titled "Russia Declares Discrimination Newest Olympic Sport," the video juxtaposes scenes of a same-sex proposal with menacing athletes on a sports playing field. The joyous moment between the two men is cut short when they are suddenly thrust into the arena, where they experience violence at the hands of the players.

Released by The Fair Games Project, the short film project, which is raising awareness and funds for The Russia Freedom Fund, concludes with a reminder to viewers that being gay is still criminalized in more than 70 countries, including Russia.
