Russian Ballet and the homophobic "propoganda" laws

[EricHG31]

I belong to a number of athletic groups, and the main issue is how to deal with the current Russian laws against any homosexual propaganda in respect to the Olympics. I would love to open a discussion about if anyone has a feeling that this will play a part--or SHOULD play a part--in regards to watching current productions of Russian ballet, or of any dancers or people involved have discussed it?

For me, personally, it seems to reflect a dangerous precedent with Germany when it was unstable in the 1930s. That may seem extreme, but I stand by that.
