Check this out, regarding the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi:

From Wikipedia:

“Since the establishment of a Pride House at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, pavilions welcoming and celebrating LGBTQ athletes and communities have been established at major sporting events including the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2012 UEFA Euro Cup and future Pride Houses are planned for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2015 Pan American Games and the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup events.
An attempt to obtain a Pride House at the 2014 Winter Olympics was struck down by the Ministry of Justice, which refused to approve the registration of the NGO set up to organize the Pride House. The ban was upheld by Krasnodar Krai Judge Svetlana Mordovina on the basis of the Pride House inciting ‘propaganda of non-traditional sexual orientation which can undermine the security of the Russian society and the state, provoke social-religious hatred, which is the feature of the extremist character of the activity’.”
