Before leaving for home after the Group of 20 summit, President Barack Obama sat down with Russian civil society activists on Friday evening to assure them that he would keep pressing Moscow to respect human rights, some of the activists said. But Obama also explained to them why this wasn't always possible.
The meeting was held several hours after two dozen of gay activists rallied in St. Petersburg to protest Russia's new law banning gay propaganda, which prompted some activists to call for the boycott of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
Igor Kochetkov, the head of LGBT Network, who took part in the protest and also attended the meeting with Obama, said the activists pushed him to be more outspoken in his criticism of the rights situation in Russia.

I'm sure Obama's Al Qaeda allies in Syria treat homosexuals better than Russia does...

What civil rights?
Homosexuality can not be promoted to children and no public displays of homosexuality.
So its a denial of rights because they can’t do these things?

a fifteen second cold stare for Putin and a full meeting with the homosexual club of Russia
maybe he got the two audiences mixed up on his agenda?

Vacation Guy never passes up an opportunity to consort with sex perverts or wahabbi moslems to advance their interests.
He's also a communist racist and a propagandist in the Goebbels Alinsky style.
Too bad he doesn't have the intellectual chops of his idols.
He's run out of ideas to destroy the American way.
God knows what evil he and his minions will unleash next.
