    Rather ironic considering the rumours over Hague

    So you can't call out a fault unless you're perfect? "He who is without sin cast the first stone" and all that (which is about vengeful accusations not justice anyway) but no country is free from homophobia to some degree. Calling up the laws in some US states as the reason the nation shouldn't speak out about the institutionalised abuse in Russia is silly.

    If you followed your own arguments, you'd not have posted this thread because you're probably a hypocrite sometimes.

    The big fat "U.S. hypocrisy over everything" thread

    Let's start with:

    U.S. hypocrisy over Russia's anti-gay laws - The Washington Post
    It is Utah that prohibits “the advocacy of homosexuality.” Arizona prohibits portrayals of homosexuality as a “positive alternative life-style” and has legislatively determined that it is inappropriate to even suggest to children that there are “safe methods of homosexual sex.” Alabama and Texas mandate that sex-education classes emphasize that homosexuality is “not a lifestyle acceptable to the general public.” Moreover, the Alabama and Texas statutes mandate that children be taught that “homosexual conduct is a criminal offense” even though criminalizing private, consensual homosexual conduct has been unconstitutional since 2003.
