Showing Up the IOC

"Principle 6, (is) a campaign inspired by the values of the Olympic charter, is a way for athletes, spectators, and global supporters to celebrate the Olympic principle of non-discrimination and call for an end to Russia’s anti-gay laws before the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

In Russia, you can now be fined or arrested for speaking publicly about gay, lesbian, bi or trans issues. The Principle 6 campaign uses the language of the Olympic Charter to allow athletes and fans to speak out against this discrimination during the Sochi Games without violating Russian anti-gay laws or violating the Olympic ban on political speech."

The idea is simple, powerful and a skilful use of tactics to achieve goals, because surely neither the International Olympic Committee nor the Russian hosts can have any objections to a part of the Olympic Charter being exposed like this.

Snogging & Ice Skating

Guyke, the clever boy, has set up an ice skating pond at his and Zigg's enlarged home. Tomais and I went there to try it out yesterday with the boys themselves, Butch and Helene Dragoone.

Tomais and I look good together, while
Ziggy in the background shows off with a daring posture 

Now both Guyke and Ziggy, who both are more experienced ice skaters, show off

Tomais and I try to escape to Guyke's & Ziggy's igloo for some alone time

...but we are kept under strict surveillance by Guyke, Ziggy and Helene

 

We don't care about their spying eyes and feel alone in a world full of people...

Thanks for inviting us over boys, we had a great time!
