Rejected petition We would like the British Olympic team to fly a rainbow flag at the Winter Olympics in Russia 2014 to support LGBT people living in Russia.

More details

There are too many requests to boycott the Winter Olympic games in 2014 because of discrimination laws in Russia against LGBT people. Why should we stay at home and hide away.

Rather than boycott the games we should support LGBT athletes and fans by waiving our rainbow flags and being supportive of gay people around the world. I would like the government to support and endorse rainbow flags and wristbands for all GB athletes and fans to show our dislike and disgust for Russia's Anti Gay legislation.
