Winter Olympics and the new Google Doodle
-
-
Has anyone else noticed the new Google Doodle? If you click it you see a message that says ”The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.” –Olympic Charter. Here is an article about it. Check it out.http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/02/06/google-gay-rights-sochi-olympic-doodle/
It puts a smile on my face as soon as I saw it. :-)

Obviously I will state that along with this topic there is a chance of slipping into a political or religious debate, so keep it nice and civil in here everyone, no matter that your beliefs.
There are quite a few things like this floating around at the moment Voodoo, due to the political climate towards LGBT’s in Russia and the current winter Olympics in Sochi. Pro-lgbt ads are appearing on TV in alot of countries.
