involving countries where homosexuality is legal, or at least tolerated? I don't give a shit about their feelings about gay people, Pride, etc. They're coming from a place of bigotry and ignorance and I don't feel the need to hear them out. But it just seems like it would be better to have teams who are allies play these particular games. The whole thing will be more of a success if the teams get in on the festivities as well.
