Stand up for the gay rights

Dear members of the International Olympic Commitee,

I am Silke Lenssens and I read the letter of Stephen Fry about the anti-gay laws in Russia. He complains about the Olympic Winter Games that are going to take place in Russia. He want to boycot the games, because Russia discriminates the LGBT's. I want to give you my opinion about this and hope I could give you some advice.

The Olympic Games are ment to bring people together, not to discriminate them about there sexuality or origin. I agree with Stephen fry about the anti-gay laws. these rights aren't human. every person should be treated the same. But I don't agree with Stephen about to boycot the games. I think you should let the games go on in Russia, but only if they change there rights for the LBGT's. You should put Putin under pressure.Give him the choice to change the rights and keep the Olympic Games in Russia or to ignore it and replace the Games to another country. You could also make a campaign with the Olympics biggest sponsor, Coca Cola.

I hope you will take this letter seriously and think about my advice I gave you.

kind regards
Silke Lenssens
