The mayor of Sochi, host of the Winter Olympics, has said there are no gay people in the city. Anatoly Pakhomov said homosexuals were welcome at the Games, as long as they “respect Russian law” and “don’t impose their habits on others”. Opposition leader Boris Nemtsov said there were several gay bars in Sochi. John Sweeney reports

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Good for this man for sticking up for what he believes in, and what is right. Gay people have no right to go over to another country, and push their views on another country. Russia has really impressed me with this whole ordeal. Way to stick to your guns. GAY PEOPLE YOU ARE NOT THE SUPERCITIZENS YOU THINK YOU ARE!!. You can't get mad at people for not agreeing with your views. You can push all of your agenda, but when someone stands up or disagrees with you, they are automatically become someone who hates. I and lots of people are going to fight back, not with violence, but with the power of the Lord!!! Things are going on now for a stand and protest that will rock the world. Again, no violence just a change. We are not going to sit by and take it anymore. This is God's world and He has blessed this country for its Christian values. He will remove that blessing if we don't change, and I love this country too much to watch it go down. Show your support here if you agree. Gays, we Christian love you, we only hate the sin your are flaunting. It is your business who you are with in life, but that doesn't mean you have to push it on everyone else. Repent now and run back to Christ. Its not too late.

First the terrorist threat and sudden panic over who's entering and leaving the games, and now Russia itself is openly and publicly discriminating homosexuals, going as far as to say there are none in the city itself. It's as if they're trying to keep tourism at bay.

Homosexuals are a minority just like any other minority. People who have PhD's are a minority. Humanity is made up of minorities.
Anyone who "doesn't believe" in homosexuality is just a scumbag no different from racists or any other ignorant bigots.

Vor Putin this Anti-Homosexual law is just a way to get attention from the richer Russians. His previous politics attacked them and he wants to get votes from them although straight people are discriminated.

BBC should advocate one man with six wives. Why not since one variable change to two variables and two different variables change to the same variables, come on BBC be the champion of one man with six wives! Don't be anti-polygamy and use your propaganda machine to advocate about it!

Policies of Putin specifically against homosexuality is good. Any nation that legalizes gay union/marriage is cursed , so as nations that promotes fornication.
DOOM and judgement from God most High is coming unto the nations that forget and reject Gods commandments .

A guy from Russia here, I have to say – I'm weirded out by this too, why such strict prohibition and intolerance? The more people will be open minded and kind to each other, the less problems we'll eventually have, isn't it that simple? I'm pretty sure, most of the younger generation of Russians feels the same.
